Must be 21+ | Please sip responsibly | Paid PartnershipThe fall season calls for campfires, cocktails, and haunting, atmospheric reads. Good thing we’ve partnered with High Camp Flasks—trading our usual book club notes for fireside stories. Naturally, High Camp has the perfect gear to accompany this occasion. High Camp is our go-to adventure companion for taking cocktails (and mocktails) from the bar to the backyard, campsite, or wherever you’re headed next. In particular, we love the Highball Shaker, which lets you mix 6-8 drinks at once while keeping everything perfectly chilled. Then the Parkside Tumblers give you the cocktail-in-the-wilderness experience without worrying about broken glass. Using our High Camp Highball Shakers and Parkside Tumblers, we gathered around the metaphorical fire, poured ourselves something great, and matched each book with its perfect pairing. Here’s what was in our glasses while we discussed the books that kept us up after dark:- God of the Woods by Liz Moore - Twin Peaks Punch- Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens - Lush- The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah - Campfire Whiskey Sour- A Gift Before Dying by Malcolm Kempt - Hot Pepper Salt Air Margarita- Unwanted by Mia Sheridan - Mountain Man- The House in the Pines by Ana Reyes - Cask-Aged Negroni- It’s Not Her by Mary Kubica - Blackberry Bourbon Smash- The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager - Campfire Old FashionedWant the ingredients and recipes for your next fireside read?
