Rating:  Summary: Cool Drinks and a Touching Story Review: This delightful little book delivers 101 cool girl drinks in a wonderfully illustrated package. The author tells a breezy and touching narrative --reminiscent of Carrie Bradshaw in TV's "Sex and the City"-- that serves as a backdrop for her barhopping research in New York.
Rating:  Summary: Cool Little Book! Review: This is a fun little drink book. I loved the illustrations and the author's commentary. It had me wanting a foo-foo drink right then and there!
Rating:  Summary: Girl Drinks real life real drinks real love for what you do Review: When i first met Rachel I thought to myself " Can someone this bright and beautiful be real?" I now know the answer, not only the book is delightful to read but also as delicious as the mere presence of the writer. Not only she cleverly reveals her greatness but also her humbleness by writing this "straight to the point" material , unmatched by anyone else. To compare it to the writer from "Sex in the City" is to take away from her individuality and splendor.Rachel's book is real(well, almost 100% real) and honest, without any hidden intentions to impress the market conditoned mind. And yes, I am in love with her!!
Rating:  Summary: Girl Drinks is the bomb diggity. Review: Who actually uses those monster-... "bartender bibles?" Also, you think someone cool actually compiles them? Hellz no!Enter R. Federman, whose touching story of love and music goes from lugubrious to salubrious (look it up, fooz!). These cocktails are all mad good (cheers [but not 'kudos' - I don't like that word] for heavy inclusion of vanilla vodka and Bailey's recipes) and they're presented so beautifully (the illustrations and heavy use of color on the glossy pages is FAB). Best of all, YOU CAN ACTUALLY MAKE THESE DRINKS. Unlike a lot of other drink books and bibles that have rather unruly or outlandish recipes, Rachel's rarely involve wack ingredients you wouldn't find at a bar, nightspot...or even your own shiznitty bar at home.
