The first night after Caroline moves into her fantastic new San Francisco apartment, she realizes …

It’s the appletini of smut

2 stars

I was fleetingly titillated by the concept of titling books with #cocktail themed double entendres, and it is with great shame that I admit I read this terribly trashy, luridly cloying, and hideously basic book with agonizing fascination.

And yet: I just spent an hour ensuring Bookwyrm had only the latest and fanciest metadata for the entire series. You’re welcome.

October's cocktail pie - Kentucky Pear Sausage Rolls

A Kentucky Pear is a proper autumn special of bourbon, pear and cognac liqueur, pear juice and apple juice.

My sausage rolls are made of an apple and caramelised shallot sausage sitting on a pear and bourbon sauce, wrapped up in puff pastry. Great picnic food for a leafy walk 🍂

A photo taken from above of two cocktails and a plate with eight sausage rolls on it, sitting on a white wooden background. The sausage rolls are golden brown, with three small scores in top of each, and a brown sausage filling. The cocktails are a cloudy apple-juice coloured drink in Nick and Nora glasses with a thin pear slice garnish each.
