Bite Notes

Enjoy this recipe of Bourbon Lemonade from Bulleit Whiskey as you try to wrap your head around the mind-bending ending in I’m Thinking of Ending Things.
-
Savor a Bell’s Two-Hearted Ale as you join Bird Box’s Malorie in trying to survive the new world blindfolded.
- Try a Dark and Stormy while trying to uncover the murderer in And Then There Were None.
- Lee Israel drinks an unhealthy amount of Scotch throughout the story of her spree of letter forging. Try Trader Joe’s Highland Single Malt Scotch, which is a mild Scotch finished in bourbon barrels.
