Biographical Note:
About the Author:
By day, Devin C. B. McEwan is a Whitewater Slalom racer, traveling and competing internationally for the USA since 2001, including on the US Olympic Team in Rio in 2016. By night, McEwan is a fanatical and inventive mixology hobbyist, researching (i.e. reading and bar-hopping) extensively, and bringing tastes and techniques from his travels into play. His many friends keep urging him to open his own bar, but one of his drinking buddies told him that he should first write a book featuring his own cocktails--and she offered to do the illustrations. She's his mom, so he kind of had to say okay so as not to hurt her feelings.

About the Illustrator:
Sandra Boynton is the author's mother. When she's not busy taste-testing cocktails, Boynton writes/illustrates books and writes/produces music. She's worked with B.B. King, Yo-Yo Ma, Alison Krauss, Lyle Lovett, Patti LuPone, Brian Wilson, Kacey Musgraves, Ben Folds, Stanley Tucci, Meryl Streep, "Weird Al" Yankovic and Kate Winslet (a duet), Darius Rucker, Zooey Deschanel, Dwight Yoakam, Patrick Warburton, and others. But Devin is her favorite collaborator because NOT ONE of those other people ever even OFFERED to make her a cocktail.


Review Quotes:
"Passionate amateur mixologist McEwan teams up with Sandra Boynton (the beloved author/illustrator, who is also his mom) to create a collection of cocktails and mocktails guaranteed to make anyone's year a bit brighter...Every recipe in the book is served with a generous jigger of wry wit that is perfectly matched by Boynton's wonderfully whimsical accompanying illustrations. Those who take their drinking seriously will be pleased to find some marvelously inventive cocktail recipes in the mix...and ingenious tips. This infectiously fun collection of delectable drinks and charming illustrations will have readers saying, "I'll drink to that.""-- Library Journal, Starred Review

Review Quotes:
"McEwan, a home bartender and debut author, teams up with his mother, bestselling children's book author Boynton (Barnyard Dance), to whip up a charmingly silly collection of holiday-themed drinks... Festive, fun, and fanciful, this will make a great gift."-- Publishers Weekly
