\u201cShake It Up: Cocktails Inspired by \"\"<\/a>the Music of Taylor Swift\u201d is a delightful little cocktail book filled with delicious cocktails, tips and tricks for making them, and of course, Taylor Swift music puns. This book provides you with a cute little introduction all about the pop princess herself as well as \u201cThe Basics\u201d, which includes recommended bar equipment, glassware, spirits every good bar should have, the best way to set up your bar, proper alcohol storage, and the techniques you\u2019ll be using to make your cocktails. Do you know how to muddle your mint? Layer your shots? Do you know the difference between shaken or stirred? Well, this book covers it all and more for you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be making bar quality cocktails to impress your Swiftie besties in no time! There are SIXTY FIVE Taylor Inspired cocktail recipes waiting for you to try. If you\u2019re in your Gin Era, try out the \u201cDear John Collins\u201d or the \u201cShake of Grace\u201d. Maybe you love a wine based cocktail, so give the \u201cMr. Perfectly Wine\u201d or \u201cAugust Wine Spritz\u201d a go. (No really, try the \u201cAugust Wine Spritz\u201d, my friends and I made it and it\u2019s a solid 10 out of 10).<\/p>\n

Now, no good review is complete without testing a few of the recipes, so I got together with two of my favorite Swifties and we tried out the \u201cAugust Wine Spritz\u201d, the \u201cAll You Had to do was Shake\u201d, and the \u201cThis is Why We Can\u2019t Have Nice Gins\u201d. Each was a totally different cocktail experience that made it even more fun. There is truly something for everyone in this book. The wine spritz was light and sweet which was perfect for a summer night drink. Nice Gins was complex and layered in its flavors, which left your tastebuds guessing as to what was coming next. And All You Had to do Was Shake was so fresh and fruity, you could easily get yourself in to trouble with how good it was. So put on your favorite Taylor Album, stock your bar, and enjoy a great cocktail with \u201cShake it Up\u201d!<\/p>\n
