🍸 2. Read a book set in New York City OR with a female character who is single OR tagged Women's Fiction/Chick Lit OR where someone drinks a Cosmopolitan.

Don Draper's Old Fashioned
Nothing will make you want to nap harder or seduce women as quickly as an Old Fashioned (or three) at lunch time. Don Draper, the leading ad man of Mad Men, made drinking an Old Fashioned (made with bourbon or rye whiskey, bitters, sugar, and club soda) an art.
🍸 3. Read a book set in an office OR with a male character who is a womanizer OR tagged Drama OR where someone drinks an Old Fashioned.

The Dude's White Russian

Phil Connors's Sweet Vermouth on the Rocks with a Twist
Sweet vermouth isn’t a common bar order, unless it's with a martini, but this is the drink that brought Rita and Bill Murray’s character Phil Connors together in Groundhog Day. He orders the drink and then states, "It always makes me think of Rome, the way the sun hits the buildings in the afternoon," just as she had earlier in the movie.
