Dance to the Cocktail of Rhyme: what a cracking playlist ! Win a copy of the App !
With apologies to Anthony Powell for bastardising his title, but it is worth it ! Author and ex-Swinging Chelsea DJ Hugh Stewart has come up with a cracking playlist to go with his “Cocktails & Kicktails – Life-saving Recipes and Rhymes to Lift Body and Soul” book. There’s a carefully curated song for each of the 23 recipes in the book. Some are rocking thumpers, some are schmoozers, and some will make you smile. All of them will get you on your feet !
Email contact@rowanbooks.co.uk to get a copy of the playlist. And if you’ve bought a copy of the Shaker App (or bought the book) and come up with a song to match one of the over 400 recipes on it, do tell us and we’ll give you a second copy of the App for free (worth £3.99).
Happy dancing !

Responsible Drinking
The Shaker App and the Cocktails & Kicktails book contain recipes for cocktails, most of which are alcoholic (by the way, the non-alcoholic ones are delicious). They often contain more than one alcohol. So please enjoy these cocktails but don’t let alcohol become your master. Stay within your limits and within prescribed guidelines, be aware of the risks and if you’re worried that you’re becoming dependent seek advice for example from Drinkaware.
KNOW YOUR LIMITS: The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend that adults do not regularly drink more than 14 units of alcohol a week. A single pub measure of spirit equals 1 unit. Drink responsibly.
