kindred spirits: cocktails for two

A delightful drinks book for couples, Kindred Spirits serves up 40 cocktail recipes to enjoy with your sweetie, 40+ photos, and creative date ideas that will add some spiritedfun to your love life.

From the mixologist behind the popular @bevsbybeverly Instagram and TikTok accounts, these tempting cocktail recipes take date night to the next level. Organized by type of date--from the classic dinner date to daytime dates, movie nights, double dates, special occasions, and more--these indulgent cocktails for two include:

• Up All Night Espresso Martinis to fuel a passionate game night and/or a night of passion.
• StrawBAE & Balsamics to toast each other while on a romantic picnic in the park.
• Hottie Toddies for a cozy movie night at home with your hottie.

Lush photography sets the mood while sidebars offer memorable date activities--like Arts & Craft & Sip Night and Couchella--a bucket list for couples, a roundup of best rom-coms, a sexy playlist, and more. Alongside cocktail paraphernalia or a bottle of liquor, Kindred Spirits is a lovely newlywed, engagement, anniversary, or housewarming gift for couples who enjoy mixing up tasty cocktails at home. Cheers to love, libations, and happily ever after!

MAKES DATE NIGHT FUN AND EASY TO PLAN: Mixing and sipping on a delicious bev with your boo is an enjoyable way to spend time together. Kindred Spirits offers 40 delicious drink recipes plus tons of great ideas for romantic activities that will bring couples closer together, such as a dance party, a home-cooked meal, and low-key ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

IDEAL ENGAGEMENT OR WEDDING GIFT: Rather than gifting an engaged couple a handbook on wedding planning, give them the gift that keeps on giving. Packed with tasty cocktail recipes and fun things to do together, this will be one of the best engagement, shower, or wedding gifts they’ll receive.

FOR COUPLES AT ANY STAGE: Alongside a shaker, playful ice cube molds, or pretty glassware, Kindred Spirits makes a thoughtful gift for couples at any stage of their relationship. The recipes are flexible enough to inspire delectable drinks for de-stressing while wedding planning, celebrating a milestone anniversary, cheers-ing to a new home, or toasting a newly empty nest.

ROMANTIC GIFT FOR HIM OR HER: Give this to your mixology-loving partner as a thoughtful anniversary or Valentine’s Day present, or as a stocking stuffer. Kindred Spirits is full of ways to keep having fun with your person.

Perfect for:

• Couples who are interested in mixology and like making drinks at home
• Newlyweds and engaged couples
• Cocktail-loving couples who are moving in together or have bought their first house
• Shoppers looking for an anniversary, engagement, housewarming, or Valentine’s Day gift
• Fans of @bevsbybeverly and popular cocktail accounts with beautiful visuals and easy recipes
