Reading & Drinking
Where Hobby Meets Happy Hour
A well-crafted piece of art is surprising and intimate, built with intent and great care to stir within you something buried or hidden away. It turns out, a great cocktail will do the same. A few times a month, you can find a new post here exploring the urgent matter of Reading & Drinking. Expect each one to take a brief but intense look at an skillfully-crafted work of art and pair it with a unique cocktail as a guiding companion should you choose to explore the same work that has inspired me. But, at the least, you’ll have a cocktail in hand.
If you have suggestions, for works or spirits or cocktails, send me an email at BTimm.Writing@gmail.com or message me on Instagram at @Reading.And.Drinking
I look forward to Reading & Drinking with you.
“testify”: To the Joy Around Us
“testify” by Dr. Eve L. Ewing is the dose of hopeful energy you didn’t know you were in need of, & with assertive positivity each line of the poem swells & expands until you’re enveloped and embracing the small beauties found in your days, thankful. Get Lifted, the cocktail inspired by the poem, is a bright and floral drink with chamomile-infused Reposado Tequila and perfect for toasting to the everyday joy in your life.
