Cocktails for Ding Dongs is the bar book equivalent of a flamingo swizzle stick: if truly delicious cocktails weren't enough to get you in a good mood, Drankewicz's hilarious recipes and Ensign's playful comics will surely do the trick. Now go get some booze, your strainer, and your shaker and have some fun, you dumb dumb! Marnie Galloway, cartoonist and author of In the Sounds and Seas What a joy it is reading this marvelous book about boozing! It's craftily written with lots of fine drink recipes, and the drawings are charming in an innocent, homemade way. Tony Millionaire, cartoonist and author of Maakies Dustin Drankiewicz brings a laid back approach to cocktail making that sways from the pretentiousness that many in the libation field would be quick to learn from. Simple, well-thought-out flavor combinations and a nod to the classics will make Cocktails for Ding Dongs a classic book to draw influence for your next dinner party or drunkening event! Chef Jared Wentworth, executive chef for the Michelin-starred restaurants Longman & Eagle and Dusek's Luckily for me I drink. Professionally. Take my advice and have a well made tipple on hand while thumbing through this book. At least you'll have that going for you. In a pinch, tear out the pages, as they seem to be absorbent and make adequate cocktail napkins. Charles Joly, award-winning mixologist, co-founder of Crafthouse Cocktails

Author Information

Dustin Drankiewicz (Recipes) Raised in a small farm town in Northern Wisconsin, Dustin Drankiewicz's hospitality career began at age fourteen at the only sit-down restaurant in town. He was fired for dying his hair green. He served stints bartending in Milwaukee and Las Vegas before hopping aboard 16 On Center's craft cocktail gravy train. He's now the beverage director for 16 On Center venues. Alexandra Ensign (Comics) A University of Chicago graduate, Alexandra Ensign has swilled boozed both professionally and non-professionally for years and served as the programming director for Reeling: The Chicago International LGBT Film Festival in 2014. She spends her free time working very, very slowly on her graphic novel, making wedding invitations for her friends (who have decided to get married all at once), and creating zines, comics, and illustrations to sell at local comic conventions and fests. You can check out some of her work at www.alexandraensign.com.
