a woman’s drink
bold recipes for bold women
Filled with gorgeous cocktails and favorite drinks from notable women, this chic collection of recipes celebrates a cocktail culture that's distinctly and unapologetically feminine.
Inspired by Brooklyn bars Elsa and Ramona, the cocktails here capture the joys and pleasures of making the perfect drink at home. Whether you're drinking solo, drinking with a plus one, or drinking with a crowd, there's a recipe for every occasion.
Featuring 50 mixed drinks—including classics like Cosmos and Negronis, as well as new spins like Elderflower Bellinis—the cocktails in this book are strong, spirited, and bold, just like the women who drink them.

“delicately illustrated, beautifully photographed, and actually useful”
Burian’s latest cocktails-and-writing project is also intended to gather people, no matter the situation at hand. And it’s her most giftable work yet. A Woman’s Drink: Bold Recipes for Bold Women is a delicately illustrated, beautifully photographed, and actually useful handbook of cocktail ideas tailored to specific scenarios. The chapters lay out broad themes (Drinking for One, Drinking to Get Over...So Many Things), then recommend drinks to suit a mood. Freaked out on a plane? Make note of the In-Flight DIY Michelada. Trying to impress your new fiancé’s family? Mix up an Aperol Spritz.
Burian has done much of the thinking for you, so all that’s left is to identify your feelings around an occasion (even if you’re avoiding booze: one chapter is devoted to Drinking With People Who Don’t Drink). As Burian puts it, “This book opens up a space for people to gather, and supports whatever that looks like to whoever needs it.”
