BYOB, the Bring Your Own Book Podcast, is back for Season 2 featuring your favourite bookworms Nikki, Kelly, and Tilly! Every episode we'll discuss the book we read and pair it with a drink inspired by the book.
This episode, we’re talking about the modern gothic classic “Rebecca” by Daphne Du Maurier, which was first published in 1938.
The drink we’ve chosen to pair with this episode is quite fittingly called the Haunted Mansion cocktail: it’s made with frozen lemonade concentrate, water, ginger ale, and black vodka. As this book is one of the most famous novels about a gothic manor, we thought this drink would be perfect!
** Book content/trigger warnings: Ableism (including dated language), adultery, cancer, dementia, drowning, murder, social anxiety, suicidal ideation. **
