Drink Cards
A toast to your book
You wrote the book, now let's give your readers another way to celebrate your story beyond the page. These drink cards take various elements from within your pages and transform them into a cocktail you can enjoy, by yourself or with friends. They're perfect for signings, order incentives, newsletters, and social media content. Mocktail options are also available!

How it works
1
I read your book
I'll send a quick intake form for you to fill out. This gives me a brief understanding of the overall concept and if there is anything I need to know, including deadlines or release dates. Then I read the book, of course! Inspiration for the drink ranges from book to book. Sometimes it's something I didn't even see coming. It's part of the reason these drink cards are so unique!
2
I design your custom drink
I carefully select all the components to best showcase your cocktail - the ingredients, the garnish, and the best glass to bring it all together. The drink gets its own photo session, and then I design the card around it and other components of the story. Drink cards are designed on both sides and include the drink and drink name on the front. The back holds the recipe itself alongside your name and cover.

You use it your way
The possibilities are endless! I've seen them handed out as swag at book signings, included in book boxes, and used as order incentives for new releases or subscribers. The social media graphics are also an option and they make a great content piece for newsletters and online platforms. The drink card is a shareable, giftable piece of your book's world and I'm honored to be trusted with your story.

“For me, making drinks for books was like translating my feelings about the book into something tangible, something others can see, and something I can share.”

The front
Wet Dreams
Made for Hollyhocks by January Rayne.
While they all carry the same foundation as a cocktail, each card is individualized and designed to make it as unique as the story it represents. Cheers!
