SIBLINGS AND CO-AUTHORS Andre Darlington and Tenaya Darlington have once again elevated the perfect cocktail pairing with the release of their latest book, Booze & Vinyl, Vol. 2 (Running Press, 2022). The listening guide features 70 albums organized by mood, from rock to chill to dance. Each album entry includes two themed cocktails, dubbed “A side” and “B side,” to pair with the track. For example, try the refreshing Lemonade Prosecco Punch when listening to Lemonade by Beyonce. Or, for the “B side,” the authors recommend the whiskey-based Lemon Pie Cocktail, inspired by Beyonce’s father’s love for a whiskey with a classic vinyl.
Each entry also includes liner notes that touch upon the album’s musical highlights as well as suggested listening party themes, such as hosting a funny hat party with Tom Petty or a tarot-reading night with Fleetwood Mac. With its stunning design and accompanying photography, this guide will expand your taste in cocktails and music.
