Critics Review
“Spirited Women is a fun and informative anecdotal look at the surprising and sometimes hard-fought influence of diverse women on every aspect of the liquor industry. It is replete with delectable, cutting-edge cocktail recipes that I, for one, as an enthusiastic bourbon drinker, plan to serve at my next party.” — Cynthia Nixon, actor, activist, and theater director “Sammi Katz and Olivia McGiff do a smashing job celebrating a wide swath of spirits and cocktail industry makers and shakers from all over the world … Plus, how can we discuss spirited women without toasting to their achievements with a proper cocktail? Each entry gets its own drink. It’s a brilliant format.” — Amanda Schuster, author of Signature Cocktails “Spirited Women is a beautifully illustrated showcase for the inventive, uproarious, daring, and determined women shaking up the cocktail world.” — Amy Stewart, author of The Drunken Botanist “Sammi and Olivia are sublime storytellers … The illustrations and clever recipes are as vibrant as the lives of the accomplished women they celebrate. Spirited Women is an artistic triumph, and I’ll drink to that!” — Abi Balingit, James Beard Award–winning author of Mayumu “This fun and feisty showcase of brilliant women in the spirits industry will leave you buzzing with inspiration (and buzzed on delicious cocktail recipes).” — Jennifer Croll, author of Free the Tipple
