Are you searching for recipes for your next cocktail party?

Check out Jennifer Croll's new book, Free the Tipple, which includes 60 cocktail recipes named after the most influential women of the 20th century.

"Free the Tipple is meant to be a fun (and delicious) way to celebrate women—a toast to their amazing achievements. It's a collection of tribute cocktails that distill different elements of each woman's life, personality, or personal style into a unique drink," says Croll.

Each recipe is crafted to reflect the personality, style and legacy of each woman -- for example The Beyonce is made with lemonade. A biography of each woman accompanies each recipe -- helping readers learn more about their lives and accomplishments.

The 144-page book features 120 illustrations by Kelly Shami of diverse women who have made an impact in entertainment, the arts, politics, fashion, literature, sports and science.

Prominent women featured in the book include: Frida Kahlo, Rihanna, Serena Williams, Naomi Klein, Rupi Kaur, Cher, Tanya Tagaq, Joan Didion, Yayoi Kusama, Peaches and more.

Free the Tipple is available worldwide from Prestel Publishing and the Vancouver Launch Party will take place on Wednesday, September 12 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Emerald Supper Club (555 Gore Avenue).
