25 Authors and their Signature Drinks
Amanda Quick
Red wine

Gin and tonic, the tonic water has to be high quality, with a lemon, not a lime.
Jamie Brenner
Coffee
Renee Rosen
A Manhattan on the rocks with bourbon and a brandied cherry (two if I can get them) along with a tall glass of ice. As I sip my Manhattan I add ice cubes one at a time. It’s weird but it’s the way I do Manhattans!
Martha Hall Kelly
Titos vodka and soda with a splash of cranberry.
Steven Rowley
Vodka martini with olives, very dry.
Elin Hilderbrand
Veuve Clicquot
Diane Setterfield
Tea. Earl Grey, jasmine, mint, chamomile, green.... it’s a long list.
Therese Anne Fowler
Lately it’s the French 75.
Amina Akhtar
Coffee. So much coffee.
Beatriz Williams
Rosé Champagne
Mary Kubica
Riesling
Paula McLain
Gin and tonic with Hendricks. Lately I've also been super into whisky sours made with rye and a garnish of Luxardo cherries. They're amazing.
Suzanne Rindell
Champagne cocktail. Again, those 1920s were good to us.
Louise Candlish
Kir royale.
Rhys Bowen
Prosecco. Sometimes Mimosas or Kir Royale.
Delia Owens
Deep, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon
Fiona Davis
I love a Moscow Mule, mainly because of the cool copper mug it’s served in.
Kristan Higgins
Iced coffee for nonalcoholic beverages; elderflower vodka martini for adulting
Jo Piazza
Gin Tonic
Lisa Jewell
My friends would say Champagne. I would probably say Champagne too.
Susan Meissner
I tried a Vesper in Philadelphia last year and it was so smooth and sophisticated and delightful. I had to ask what was in it. Lillet is the secret ingredient.
John Boyne
Champagne
Lauren Willig
for day, strong tea; for night, a kir royale. Who can go wrong with pink bubbly?
Abdi Nazemian
I know how L.A. this sounds, but ginger Kombucha.
