Drink Like a Woman: Shake. Stir. Conquer. Repeat.

Jeanette Hurt challenges the stereotype that women prefer fruity, pink drinks by presenting a collection of feminist cocktails in her book Drink Like a Woman. She exposes the sexist history of cocktail culture and offers practical advice for home bartenders who wish to move beyond traditional gendered expectations. The text includes basic techniques, classic recipes, hangover cures, and drinking games designed to empower readers. The guide features over fifty original recipes created by prominent female bartenders across the United States. Notable drinks include the Anarchy Amaretto, Bloody Mary Richards, Nelly Bly-Tai, and the WoManhattan. Other selections such as The LBD, Ruth's Pink Taboo, Zeldatini, The Suffragette Sour, Ride, Sally Ride, and Curie Royale highlight diverse female figures and concepts. Each recipe calls for a generous splash of empowerment, aiming to subvert patriarchal norms in mixology. This book suits readers interested in feminist history and creative bartending. It appeals to those who want to understand the cultural context of alcohol consumption while learning new skills. The content is less suitable for individuals seeking strictly traditional, male-centric cocktail guides or those uninterested in social commentary within their beverages.
