CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Fiction and Fizz is an Instagram page created by Kimberly Parrilla, that showcases book-themed cocktails and mocktails! Parrilla says that she loves reading and wanted to do book reviews, but hasn't always been the best with writing those reviews down. So she does them with cocktails!
Fiction and Fizz has a variety of cocktails that incorporates aspects of each book it represents. She always posts the recipe with it as well so people can make the cocktail themselves.
Here is the recipe for 'The Battle Axe' which is a themed cocktail for this month's CT Chapter Chaser's book club pick, 'Carrie Soto is Back.'
1 1/2 oz gin
1 oz fresh lemon juice
3/4 oz blueberry syrup
1/2 oz orgeat almond syrup
2-3 oz club soda
Garnish: tennis ball cocktail pick with blueberries
⁃ Add the gin, fresh lemon juice, blueberry syrup and orgeat almond syrup in your cocktail shaker with ice. Give it a good shake.
⁃ Pour into your cocktail glass and top with club soda. Garnish with a cocktail pick with blueberries. Enjoy!
