Highballs High Heels combines '50s cocktail party nostalgia with career girl independence. Order up a Bikinitini when you're feeling sassy, get naughty with a cool Gin and Sin, or a Shirley Temple's Evil Twin, for those times when you just want to be left alone. And for girls with "inner" spirit, there's an entire chapter devoted to nonalcoholic drinks. In addition to the 50 fabulous swizzle-stick sensations and an essential essay on women and the art of drinking with style, this guide is also bursting with hip party-planning ideas for cocktail soirées, dinners, and summer bashes, including a how-to section for setting up a swanky bar at home. Highballs High Heels is perfect for any woman longing to release her hidden grrrlll. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Girls Just Want to Have Fun (and Cocktails Too)!What a cool, fun book! I picked this book up as a bachelorette gift for a friend and was not disappointed. What a hoot! I loved the titles of the cocktails, and it was fun to read the descriptions of the recipes and the background of each.

This book outlines the necessities you'll need to get started. But Even for the novice martini drinker (like myself), you'll me mixing and shaking like a pro in no time. Rating: - hip and sophisticated"Highballs High Heels" is what it says: a smart, witty cocktail guide for girls (and the authors mean anyone female, not just the young 'uns). I own this book and "Atomic Cocktails" by the same writers, and both are terrific, but "Highballs" is funkier and less basic, though still very easy to use. "Highballs" is not exclusively for women, but then, neither is "When Harry Met Sally"- it's just unlikely that men will have the same appreciation for these that we do. With recipes like Minivan Mom Meltdown ...

The simple and articulate writing, the flow of the layout from page to page and the tasteful vintage-like illustrations makes this book a really great gift or just to own for yourself. Here are a few reasons why I love this book. #1 It looks a lot cooler than having the Sports Illustrated (Swim Suit edition) laying around. #2 It shows that I am sensitive ...
