Naughty Cocktales: 69 Sexy Drinks For Every Occasion

Naughty Cocktales: 69 Sexy Drinks For Every Occasion Review



There are cocktails, and then there are cocktales, and when you combine the two things happen! Years ago when “double entendre” drinks like Sex on the Beach were invented many good times were had by those who were able to take the “innocent” act of ordering a drink and use it to steer the conversation in a particular direction… but these outrageously named cocktails have since become somewhat commonplace and have lost some of their old mojo. Enter Naughty Cocktales, which combines risqué names, suggestive comments and erotic photos into a surefire conversation starter for your next party, boy’s night out, girls’ night out, bridal shower, bachelor party or whatnot. For that matter, why not carry a copy down to your favorite local watering hole? There are so many way to order. Say, “I’d like a Ménage à Trois” or “Would you like a Screaming Multiple Orgasm on the Beach,” look at the photos, and read the captions… you get the idea. In the right hands, this little book of drink receipes is the ultimate conversation starter. What really sets it apart from other mixology compilations is each receipe is accompanied by a pertinent and tastefully erotic photo which will be sure to get the juices flowing, along with a short “tale” to kick start the conversation. If you can’t break the ice with the opposite sex using this book, you have big problems!
