Flirtini - A Guide to Mixing and Mingling

Appealing to the same fun-seeking, fashion-conscious young women who loved Swell and Three Black Skirts--and who absolutely must find time for this week's Sex and the City--Flirtini is filled with a veteran party planner's advice for throwing a fabulous and flirty cocktail party. In Flirtini, top entertainment coordinator Allana Baroni shares ideas for making a cocktail party the perfect place to cut loose and mingle. Featuring a "house specialty drink" for each party, she then shows how to parlay simple ideas into an entire party theme. An "unbirthday" party in honor of a friend who needs an ego boost has a Mad Hatter tea party twist, complete with Lemon Citrus Caterpillar cocktails, a trunk filled with crazy hats, and favorite childhood games that give adults permission to be immature. A jazz-inspired after-dinner party can turn any apartment into an atmospheric hot spot by showcasing coffee-flavored cocktails, slow dancing, and fortune telling. Baroni includes plenty of spirited advice on how to meet and flirt with confidence, how to devise a guest list that's guaranteed to mix up everyone's daily routine, and ways to transform inevitable party snafus into occasions for spontaneous fun. Illustrated throughout with eye-popping photography and featuring a bold design, Flirtini is the perfect recipe for mixing up killer cocktail parties.
