Calling all (adult) Swifties! The definitive cocktail book inspired by the songs of the powerhouse princess of pop has made its debut. Now that Taylor Swift’s record-setting, frankly mind-blowing Eras Tour has exited the stage, it’s time to raise a glass to celebrate her phenomenal success.
The Eras Tour was definitely one for the, well, eras: 146 dates across five continents; a reported $2.2 billion in sales in North America alone; 4.35 million tickets sold across 60 tour dates in 12 months; 72,500 average delighted Swifties attended per show. And the number updates are still rolling in.
Swift, who has written or co-written all her songs (except a few covers), racked up $2.5 million in sales with her 2006 debut album. Her first single, Tim McGraw, naturally appears in the cocktail book illustrated by Laurene Boglio.
Joining the “Tim McStraw” cocktail are 64 additional tasty samplings of her hits, including:
“I Whiskey You Would” (I Wish You Would)
“Mirror Highball” (Mirror Ball)
“Cruel Slammer” (Cruel Summer)
“Look What You Made Me Brew” (Look What You Made Me Do)
So, forget your troubles and Shake it Off. Crank up the music and drink to Taylor’s great success with the highest-grossing concert ever!
