Bottoms Up: A Gay Guide to Naughty Mixology is where queer joy meets cocktail craft. Author Alexander Grant shakes, stirs, and seduces his way through a collection of thirty mood-based recipes designed to turn any evening into an experience. From bright, flirty spritzes to dark, dangerous nightcaps, every drink tells a story-and every story comes with a wink.

More than a bartending manual, Bottoms Up is a celebration of connection, confidence, and the art of pleasure. Grant's signature humor and unapologetic charm infuse each page, inviting readers to mix drinks the same way they live: boldly, playfully, and without apology. Whether you're hosting a rooftop flirtation, decompressing after a long week, or enjoying your own fabulous company, these cocktails (and mocktails) are crafted to match every mood.

Inside you'll find:

- Simple, approachable recipes for every vibe-from Foreplay Fizz to Midnight Mischief and Sweet Surrender.

- Tips on glassware, garnishes, and the energy of a great bar night.

- Queer-spirited storytelling that proves mixology is about more than what's in the glass.

Equal parts wit and whiskey, Bottoms Up invites readers to toast to freedom, flirtation, and the beautiful ritual of a well-made drink. Raise your glass, take your time, and remember: the best cocktails-like the best connections-are made with curiosity, confidence, and a hint of mischief.
