10.2 WE NEED A DRINK- Read a book with a beverage in the title (alcoholic beverages are encouraged, but optional) Ex. The Gin Closet, Whiskey Sour

The beverage should be something that you could buy in a traditional (non-paranormal/fantasy) store or bar/pub/tavern.

If you need suggestions OR have suggestions for books to read for this task, please post them here.

If the drink is obscure please explain it when you post

OK-skim post 56

Explaining No

compound words containing a beverage don't work - no to "watership"

It can be a mixed drink: Bloody Mary, Kamikaze, etc. but it should match exactly "Bloody Mary" not a title with "Bloody"

poison- No- The beverage should be something that you could buy in a traditional (non-paranormal/fantasy) store or bar/pub/tavern.

Here's a few lists but you'll have to surf since some don't have the drink in the title.

The whole series works and she is a GR author

I was excited as I found a book in a series I wanted to read. Then I realized that it didn't really say cocktail!!

GRRR!!!! Cockatiels at Seven

I am trying to fit in the whole series, so I already have that one full. Thanks though.

I know you already approved Water as the drink, but what if it's part of another word, i.e. Watership Down?

Sorry, no

If it matches exactly, plurals are ok- If the drink is obscure please explain it when you post

Rachel - The Cider House Rules is a wonderful book. I would use that myself if I hadn't already read it twice this year. :o)

Instead, I'm going to use The Master and Margarita, which has been on my tbr for way too long.

I suspect the answer is probably no, but would the tea shop mysteries work? Each book is a type of tea but the work 'tea' isn't actually in the title. Specifically, I'd like to read Gunpowder Green

No problem. Thanks :)

does Cocktails for Three work?

I think I'll go with Espresso Shot by Cleo Coyle

I can almost fit in the rest of the series in this challenge. yay.

"Cinderella - it's a non-aloholic beverage"

Oh! So I can use The Cinderella Deal?

How about

Leigh Ann! Brilliant I didn't think of that! That would leave only 3 books in the series before #9 and #10 for 25.1. Now to wait for the decision maker?

Do sub-titles work? I'm thinking specifically of The Poker Bride, who's full name is The Poker Bride: The First Chinese In The Wild West?

"Wild West" is a drink with brandy, egg yolks and sugar.

Sub-titles work if they appear in the Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ' title

I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell by Tucker Max is book I have selected for this task. In case anyone is still looking for a book to fit in here. Max is a self-proclaimed assh*@& and the book may not be for everyone but if you like irreverent humour, this may entertain you.

Would you be OK with The Perfect Poison?

Christy wrote: "Would you be OK with The Perfect Poison?"

Not really what this task is looking for.

The beverage should be something that you could buy in a traditional (non-paranormal/fantasy) store or tavern.

For all you Tudor lovers out there, a 'Henry' is a non alcoholic cocktail containing orange juice and lemonade. That should open up some possibilities!

if you haven't read Ballad of the Whiskey Robber: A True Story of Bank Heists, Ice Hockey, Transylvanian Pelt Smuggling, Moonlighting Detectives, and Broken Hearts it's a hoot!

Would bitters work? As in The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet?

Kate wrote: "Would bitters work? As in The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet?"

No, I think that's an ingredient and it would need to match "bitters" exactly

Does Latte count as a drink?
