Sip Story: “Carrie Soto is Back” x Honey Deuce
🎾 CARRIE SOTO IS BACK by Taylor Jenkins Reid 🎾
★★★★★
🍸 Drink Pairing: “Honey Deuce” - A.K.A. the US Open’s signature cocktail! Since Ms. Soto is the Queen of the U.S Open I figured this would be perfect drink to go with this story!
Recipe:
Fill up a highball glass with ice
1.5 oz Grey Goose vodka
3 oz freshly squeezed lemonade
0.5-1 oz Chambord
Mix it all up and garnish with honeydew balls! I just used a teaspoon measuring spoon to carve the little balls and stuck them on a toothpick!
For a step by step video - check out my Reels! And for a Mocktail version - sub the vodka with Lyre’s Sugarcane Non-Alcoholic Spirit and the Chambord with blackberry syrup!
Thank you to and NetGalley for the gifted copy of this story!
✨Review: Wow. This book PUT ME THROUGH IT. 🥲I cried, laughed, and was on the edge of my seat for the entire book. I would also like to note that I have officially completed Taylor Jenkins Reid entire backlist - and every book she writes is amazing!
Let me say - I was not a tennis fan and literally knew nothing about the sport and now I think I literally have to be invested in tennis??? That is how powerful TJR’s writing is. I flew through this book - and I loved the intermediary chapters of sportscasters conversations and articles, it was such a nice touch.
This story is an ode to powerful women everywhere - the women who get labeled “bitchy”, who are hungry for success, and who don’t let obstacles get in their way and put them down. The message of this book is so powerful , and the relationship between Carrie and her dad, Javier, is so heartwarming and special. Not to mention the relationship between Carrie and Bowe - like come on 😭🤍 I would also just like to add that Nicki Chan is also a QUEEN.
Please do yourself a favor and go read this book. I promise you - you will be a different person once you finish it. 🥺
