Dee Brun is an imaginative new writer whose decade of bartending has equipped her with the skills to stir, shake and mix with the best. In her fun new book "Libations of Life" a girl's guide to life - one cocktail at a time, Dee Brun creates a whole new fun world of witty, easy to make cocktails. Equal parts cocktail guide and relationship counselor, this could well be the funniest recipe book to hit the shelves in a while (or ever). Breaking up with Mr. Wrong? Try a "So you still want to be friends? Spritzer" or a "Plenty of fish in the sea Sling." Daters will appreciate the "He made me go dutch Daquiri," while dieters will love the low-cal cocktails like the "Control top Cosmopolitan" or the "I need to get in shape Shandy."
