Drink Cards
A toast to your book
You wrote the book. Let's give your readers something to raise a glass to. Custom drink cards turn your characters, tropes, and world into a signature cocktail (or mocktail) — perfect for signings, launch parties, newsletters, and social content.
Book your drink card
How it works
1
I read your book
I dive into the story myself to find what actually inspires the drink: the vibe, the characters, the tropes, the details a form could never capture. A quick intake form fills in the rest — deadlines, preferences, anything you want me to know.
2
I design your custom drink
A full recipe, name, and headnote built around your story — and the card is designed on both sides. The drink on the front; on the back, the recipe alongside your book, your name, and your cover. Printed, digital, or both.
3
You use it your way
At signings, in reader mailers, across social — a shareable, giftable piece of your book's world.

The front
Wet Dreams
Made for Hollyhocks by January Rayne.
The drink on the front, the recipe on the back — along with the book, the author, and where to find them. Both sides come designed.

“It was an honor and joy to work with you and I love the cards so much! People were excited to grab them and try them out. I can't wait to try them myself when I have some downtime. Look forward to working with you again soon!”

“I was so excited to work with Britta on designing a drink card for my romantic suspense book. The drink is unique, delicious, and a great addition to give to readers who purchased the book. Everyone raved about them at a local book signing I went to and I can't wait to work with her to develop my next drink card! Highly recommend her if you're looking for unique swag to augment your books!!!”
