Drinks on the Lanai: Cocktails, Mocktails, & Cheesecake Inspired by The Golden Girls
Miami can get pretty humid this time of year … It’s probably time you put your feet up and unwound with a Golden Girls-centric cocktail.
Everybody needs a stiff drink from time to time, be it alcoholic or otherwise. This irreverent book is as close as you’re ever going to get to clinking glasses with Rose, Blanche, Sophia and Dorothy, the sassy foursome from The Golden Girls.
More than 30 years after it first aired, The Golden Girls retains a steadily growing cult following. The show ran for seven seasons (collecting a staggering 58 Emmy nominations and 11 wins along the way), and over the years, this hit comedy about four fierce and sassy broads sharing a house in Miami charmed millions of viewers with its wit and verve.
In this book, there are recipes for frozen belinis, piña coladas, coconut kisses and other gloriously silly cocktails. There’s also mocktails like the non-alcoholic Bahama mama and Blanche’s punch (that packs quite the punch). And, because it’s The Golden Girls we’re talking about here, there are some cheesecake recipes for good measure.

Picked up on a whim while at the bookstore, and was unable to put this delightfully nostalgic gem down once I got home. Excellent cocktail recipes I can’t wait to try, various cheesecakes inspired by each of The Golden Girls, and fun illustrations dipped with the vibrant personalities of those Miami mamas we all love and love to quote. Each section is curated to perfection, matching their different personalities and preferences. My drinking game will definitely be raised to golden perfection as I sip on my inner Dorothy, Blanche, Sophia, and Rose on the lanai.

What a cute premise! As promised the book serves cocktail and cheesecake recipes, with references to our favorite Golden Girls.
I loved all the illustrations and how the recipes were categorized. The author divides the recipe by qualities of the characters. :) what a quirky, quick read.
