Gone with the Gin Cocktails with a Hollywood Twist

From the bestselling author of Tequila Mockingbird, Tim Federle serves up another round of literary-inspired libations—this time for the silver screen devotee in all of us. Gone with the Gin is a delightfully spirited love letter to Hollywood’s most quotable films, featuring 50 cleverly crafted cocktails that’ll have you toasting your favorite movie moments.

Whether you’re a drama enthusiast ready to sip your way through a Ti-tonic, a comedy lover craving You’ve Got Ale, or a musical theater fan dancing toward another Sippin’ in the Rain, this collection has something for every cinematic palate. Each recipe comes with Federle’s signature wit and whimsical illustrations that capture the magic of movie night.

The genius here isn’t just in the puns (though A Sidecar Named Desire and Indiana Jones and The Shirley Temple of Doom are pretty spectacular). It’s in how these drinks transform your living room into a private screening lounge where every sip feels like an opening night premiere. Bonus: movie-themed munchies are included, because what’s The Silence of the Lamb Burgers without a nice chianti?

Perfect for the home bartender who can quote Casablanca in their sleep, or anyone looking to add a splash of Hollywood glamour to their next gathering. Settle into your favorite seat (cup holder recommended), silence your phone, and prepare for a cocktail hour worthy of the red carpet. After all, even if you don’t know every line from every movie, tonight you’re gonna drink like you do.
