When life gives you lemons - slice, squeeze into martini, pour and serve. 

Life's highs and lows (particularly those that occur on the relationship front) provide a hilarious sub-text to the luxurious, creative cocktails that take centre stage in Dee Brun's Libations of Life: A Girl's Guide to Life, One Cocktail at a Time.

Through the chapters It's Not Me, It's You; The Dating/Relationship Pool ... and It's Lack of Lifeguards; Trim the Back Fat; and Trolling Cocktails, Brun delivers a hefty amount of humor, advice and booze. Whether its advice on how to act during a break-up or more importantly, how to whip up a He Called Me by His Ex's Name on the Rocks (with a splash of uncomfortable silence), this book has all the answers namely the recipe for the deliciously fresh Plenty of Fish in the Sea Sling (with a splash of hook, line and sinker).

With cocktail recipes to enjoy no matter what the status of your relationship, Libations of Life will have you shaking, mixing and stirring like a pro.
