Book Reviews of Tipsy in Madras: A complete guide to 80s preppy drinking
Book Review: Perfect beach read!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is great for any true prep, especially at the beach. I took this along to Hilton Head with my fellow preps and it made us long for the 80s, thirsty, and eventually very intoxicated! This makes a good companion to the Official Preppy Handbook.
Summary of Tipsy in Madras: A complete guide to 80s preppy drinking
To capitalize on the resurgence in popularity of preppy style as well as theme drink books, Tipsy in Madras trips down memory lane to reveal a time when clothes were bright and the drinks were strong.Remember the days of sipping Cape Codders in Cape Cod? Bloody Marys over brunch in SoHo? And Old Fashioneds at the Harvard Club?
No?
Doesn't matter. The 80s may be over, but the preppy attitude that pervaded the era lives on in classic drinks with a kick. Tipsy in Madras will help readers "prep" their bar, discern the brands to have on hand, mix their drinks, and delve into the timeless lifestyle. Wanna-bes and prepster hold-outs will get insight into preppy drinking fashion, customs, literature, and more-and answers to such essential preppy questions as:
Do Brahmins drink beer?
To monogram or not to monogram?
Where does one find authentic prep school mugs?
What are the best preppy movies to drink by?
