December Nightcaps
"Good Spirits" - paired with a Snow Globe Mimosa
The perfect sparkling companion to Good Spirits by B.K. Borison – a Snow Globe Mimosa! With crisp champagne and smooth white cranberry juice, this drink offers a bright, refreshing balance to match the story’s heartfelt moments and playful charm. Plus, a swirl (optional) of edible glitter adds a shimmer of holiday magic. Sip, savor, and let the sparkle carry you straight into the spirit of this holiday read.

"In A Holidaze" - paired with a Holiday French 75
We knew this Holiday French 75 was the ideal match for In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren as soon as we saw it shared by Drinks with Danica. It perfectly captures the story’s energy, romantic chaos, and festive sparkle. The classic elements of gin and lemon juice bring a zesty, wake-you-up snap – perfect for a book built on second changes and do-overs. Then, the cranberry juice or syrup adds a seasonal twist. Topped, of course, with sparkling wine. This cocktail feels fizzy and hopeful, making it a delightful sip-along companion for every twist, turn, and merry mishap.

November Nightcaps
"Reign" - paired with Sherwin Family Vineyards 2022 Cabernet
The only wine fitting for a finale this dramatic — and yes, it does have the American flag etched onto the bottle. If that flag can survive the bottling process, then we can survive the royal theatrics. The wine itself is gorgeous — rich blackberry and cassis, a little oak, and a little spice — kind of like this series: part sweetness, part scandal, part, "We cannot believe they just did that." It's patriotic, punchy, and unapologetically dramatic, the ultimate toast to the end (or beginning) of an American Royal reign.

October Nightcaps
"Rivals" - paired with Princesses Sparkling Wine
It feels only fitting to pair American Royals: Rivals with Princesses Sparkling Wine—because if this book is anything, it’s overflowing with princess rivalries. I promise this wine is more sparkling than Jeff’s personality (low bar, but still). Its crisp citrus notes mirror the sharp betrayals and shifting alliances in the royal court, while the playful bubbles capture the chaos of Nina and Daphne’s unlikely friendship. The elegant finish evokes Louise’s Jackie Kennedy poise, reminding us that even amid the scandals, there’s still a touch of grace. Like Rivals, this wine is effervescent, dramatic, and just the right amount of messy.

September Nightcaps
"Majesty" - paired with Bertrand Orange Gold
The dark fruit flavors echo the glittering glamour of royal life, while smoky oak and spice mirror the tension and rivalries simmering beneath the crown. Just like the wine’s name suggests, Beatrice often feels like a prisoner in her role as queen—bound by duty even when her heart wants something else. Every chapter of McGee’s drama feels as layered as the wine’s velvety tannins and lush finish. Like Beatrice balancing duty, Daphne scheming her way into power, or Sam refusing to play by the rules, this wine keeps surprising you. And the king card on the label? That’s the crown jewel—a nod to every twist in this modern monarchy.
