Industry Reviews
"Serves up cocktails with a humorous twist . . . equal parts cookbook, history lessons, and book club fare." —Medford Mail-Tribune
"A thoughtful picaresque . . . Makansi's approach is fearless, fun, and, at times, autobiographical . . . it makes a delicious and intoxicating holiday gift for those who have everything, those who love to read, professional and amateur mixologists both, and those who just enjoy relaxing with an imaginative drink." —Oregon Wine Press
"Literary Libations [provides] interactive ways to experience reading and drinking." —Touring and Tasting magazine
"Makansi uses the history and themes of famous books to provide humorous but informative drink pairing recommendations . . . The pairings in Literary Libations are cheeky but thoughtful, and each is accompanied by a brief paragraph of explanation." —Southern Oregon Wine Scene
"There are at least two good ways to enjoy this excellent volume: you can come to it as a curious drinker, and be reminded by a new recipe of a great book you want to read (or better yet, reread)—or you can come to it as a reader, sharing in Amira Makansi's literary enthusiasm until you work up a mighty thirst, at which time your cure will already be close at hand. Either way, I hope you'll end up as happily sated as I was." —Matt Bell, author of Scrapper
"Insightful, beautifully written, and [full of] dazzling watercolor illustrations." —Taylor Zajonc, author of The Maw
