Drink
This Book
Every book gets a drink. That's the whole idea, and it's meant literally — you tell me about a novel, I read it, and I build a cocktail that tastes like it. Then it goes on a card your readers can keep.
If you found this on a coaster, in somebody's drink photo, or under a hashtag — that's the point of it. Somebody raised a glass to a book they loved, and now you're here.
17 books, 17 drinks
Each of these started as somebody's novel. The drink came out of reading it — the mood of it, the two people at the middle of it, sometimes a single scene that wouldn't leave me alone.

Use the tag
If you've got a card, or you've made one of the recipes, or you've simply built a drink to go with whatever you're reading tonight — post it with #drinkthisbookand I'll find it. That tag is where all of this lives.
It works the other way too. Search drink this bookafter you spot it on a coaster and you'll end up back here, which is the whole point of printing it on something people take home.
Where drink this book came from
I couldn't draw character art. But I could mix a cocktail — so that's what I made for the books I loved, and then for other people's, and then it turned into this.
Taps & Tropes is what happened when I stopped keeping books and bartending apart.
