Book Talk-Top-Rated Podcaster Delanie Fisher

Chaucer’s Bookstore 3321 State Street Santa Barbara 805-682-6787

Have you ever wondered what Elinor and Marianne from Jane Austen’s novel, Sense & Sensibility, would sip on the chilly evenings in Barton Cottage? Probably none of the drinks in this book, because we’ve become a lot more fun since the 1700s. But, try a refreshing Soda & Sensibility anyway!

Each recipe inside MockTales is inspired by the literary characters, authors, and settings of classic books, banned books, and even beloved book-to-film adaptations. With recipes like The Blizzard of Oz, Huckleberry Fizz, Oliver Lemon Twist, Rubyfruit Jungle Juice (a great batch recipe for parties!), and lots more — you’ll be sippin’ in style.

Featuring over fifty alcohol-free, plant-based recipes that are easy to make and full of flavor, these drinks are perfect to pair with a quiet reading or movie night at home, or to share at your next book club or sober rager.

Plus, fun literary facts, awesome art, and non-drinking games that everyone can enjoy without next-day regrets!
