From Publishers Weekly
Following in the footsteps of Ruby Ann Boxcar (Ruby Ann's Down Home BBQin' Cookbook), sibling Donna Sue Boxcar serves up the liquor to go with her younger sister's cooking. But the outcome isn't quite the same-the asides aren't as witty (mostly, they are straightforward, but with g's lopped of the end of words, as in "marryin' your own cousins"). Many of the drinks might actually please drinkers who don't live in trailer parks, though. Boxcar, who works as a barmaid and exotic dancer at the Blue Whale Strip Club, opens her book up with a toast: "May your glass always be full and your bottom up." After a solid primer on stocking the bar and bartending tips ("don't be afraid of tastin' a guest's drink before servin' but never take a sip from a guest's glass, unless you know for sure he's in the bathroom"), Boxcar breaks down chapters by alcohol type, offering her own mixes alongside traditional drinks: there's the Quickie (bourbon, white rum, triple sec), the Italian Surfer (brandy, amaretto, pineapple juice, cherry) and the Stripper's Slipper (gin, triple sec and several juices). The often funny photos might warrant a toast, such as a photo of stripper Ms. Amy with a pet slug on her shoulder, which prompts Boxcar to recall her own animal act: "I was performin' and a cockroach fell out of my bra."
