Barbie: The Official Cocktail Book: 50 Dreamy Recipes for Inspired Entertaining

The fashion doll inspires an array of stylish drinks in Landt’s chic debut. A brief history of Barbie is followed by a comprehensive overview of bartending tools and liquor cart staples, as well as instructions for bespoke infusions and syrups. Recipes riffing on Barbie’s famous fashion moments include a black and white mocktail made to imitate the striped swimsuit the doll debuted in, and a “color magic margarita,” which goes from orange to fuchsia with the addition of butterfly pea flower tea. Photographs of both the drinks and the dolls are striking, but never appear side-by-side, meaning it’s not always easy to grasp which look individual recipes are referencing. The “Malibu Memories” section offers a classic mojito and a watermelon smoothie, while “Jet Set Sippers,” inspired by Barbie’s far-flung travels, features a raspberry sgroppino that “takes you right to Italy.” “Barbie Dream World” drinks include a “dreamhouse warming punch” alongside a toasted marshmallow old fashioned, while the “Barbiecore” section features an array of nine vibrantly pink concoctions. Mocktails and low-ABV variants abound, as do playful garnishes, including a half-banana doctored to look like a dolphin. Though this arrives a bit late to the Barbie craze, diehard fans will appreciate it. (May)
