    Who's your Uncle?

    Braving the Storm by Elliott Rose We’re back with the second book in the Crimson Ridge series by Elliott Rose—Braving the Storm. And let me be clear… this is not a “will they, won’t they.” This is very much “they absolutely will,” and you know it right out of the gate and oh boy is it complicated.    Signature Cocktail: The Stormbreaker This drink like the book is all about things that shouldn't work together but somehow do - so naturally, I made a cocktail that sounds like a horrific idea on paper. Coconut whiskey? Um no, Lime and pineapple - more suspicious. But not unlike Braving the Storm - messy, emotional, and a little chaotic - against all odds this shit works! It's strong, sweet and a little unhinged which seems right on brand for us.  Ingredients: 2 oz Beach Whiskey - Island Coconut flavor 3/4 oz fresh lime juice 3/4 oz pineapple juice Club soda if you need to cut the strength - wimps! Combine the Beach Whiskey, lime juice and pineapple juice in a shaker. Shake well. Strain the drink into a whiskey glass filled with ice. Top it off with a splash of club soda if you need to tone it down a bit.

    All This For a Tiara?

    A Devious Arrangement by J Wilde Join Lynn, Kim and Jen as they discuss a fake relationship that turns very real, a hot MMC who is stalkery in an adorable way, and a plot that exists solely to justify why we had to climb a rope in gym class to pass middle school. Put on your favorite tierra and join us for the cocktails and laughs! Signature Cocktail: The Polished Princess We went with The Polished Princess as a nod to Bash’s ‘princess’ Anastasia, who isn’t nearly as innocent as she looks—and that’s exactly why he can’t stay away. This cocktail starts sweet, ends bold, and lives in that same tension of desire and deception. It's absolutely beautiful.  Ingredients: 8 fresh cranberries, divided 3/4 ounce simple syrup 1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 pinch pumpkin spice 1 1/2 ounces vanilla vodka 1 large egg white In a cocktail shaker, combine 5 cranberries, simple syrup, lemon juice, and pumpkin spice. Muddle well. Add the vanilla vodka and egg white and dry shake without the ice. Once thoroughly shaken add ice and shake again. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and add 3 floating cranberries for a beautiful garnish.    Please note you can change out the primary liqueur for tequila, or gin as well.

    The Priest and The Whore

    Audacity by Elodie Hart Join the cousins as we dive into Audacity—where the heroine is an executive assistant who is on call at all times and her boss believes “other duties as assigned” is a lifestyle choice. It’s bold, filthy, and wildly unapologetic, with boundaries being crossed faster than an unread calendar invite. Grab a drink and laugh with us, because this is what happens when ambition, chemistry, and audacity all hit “reply all.”   Signature Cocktail: The Priest and The Whore A cocktail with equal parts devotion and temptation Ingredients The Priest (clean, crisp, righteous) 2 oz Audacity Vodka 1 oz fresh lemon juice ½ oz simple syrup 2 dashes orange bitters The Whore (sweet, seductive, dangerous) 1 oz blackberry liqueur (like Chambord) ½ oz grenadine Splash of ginger beer or soda for a little sparkle Garnish A lemon twist and a blackberry — because duality matters Optional: a tiny sprig of thyme (for that “holy” aesthetic) Directions Shake the Priest: Add Audacity Vodka, lemon juice, simple syrup, and bitters to a shaker with ice. Shake until it’s cold and clean. Pour the Whore: In the bottom of a chilled rocks glass, pour in the blackberry liqueur and grenadine to create a deep, sultry base. Bring Them Together: Slowly strain The Priest mix over the back of a spoon so it layers on top like a halo over sin. Finish with a little sparkle: Add a splash of ginger beer or soda to give it a playful lift. Garnish: Add your lemon twist (purity) and a blackberry (temptation) on a pick.

    If Murder is Wrong, I Don't Wanna Be Right

    Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver Today, the cousins dive into Brynne Weaver’s darkly fun romance, Butcher & Blackbird—a story where two morally gray antiheroes team up, use their murder skills for justice, and somehow stumble into one of the healthiest relationships in the book. It’s funny, twisted, unexpectedly tender, and the very first installment in the Ruinous Love Trilogy.   Signature Cocktail: Cookies and Creamtini If you know, you know! If you don't... read chapter 17!  Ingredients: 1/3 cup milk or cream 1/4 cup Pinnacle Whipped Vodka 1 1/2 teaspoons Jell-O Oreo instant pudding mix Hershey's chocolate sauce Crushed Oreo crumbs Whipped cream 1 mini Oreo for garnish (optional) Mix milk/cream, Pinnacle Whipped Vodka, and JELL-O Oreo instant pudding mix in shaker with ice. Shake for about 30 seconds. Dip rim of glass in chocolate sauce, then dip rim into Oreo crumbs. Strain drink into glass. Top with whipped cream and a mini Oreo if desired

    Happy Hallowpeen!

    HallowPeen by Holly Wilde Join cousins Jen, Kim, and Lynn for this special edition as they gourdge on this spicy and sticky  Halloween tale where inanimate objects go bump—and grind—in the night. It’s equal parts punny, spooky, and smutty.    Signature Cocktail: The Drunken Pumpkin Ingredients: 3 oz Whipped cream or marshmallow flavored Vodka  8 oz Pumpkin Spice Latte Whipped Cream Ground Cinnamon cup of ice Fill a cocktail shaker or mason jar with ice. Measure pumpkin spice latte and pour into shaker. Measure and add vodka. Put the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously until the shaker starts to frost. Pour into two glasses. Top with whipped cream (optional) (I used a spray can of whipped cream) Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top of the whipped cream. Garnish each drink with a cinnamon stick, if you like.  You can substitute different vodkas if you don't have whipped. Also if you can't get Starbucks PSL you can use pumpkin spice coffee creamer or pumpkin ice cream. Both are decadent.
