She has proven herself to be a powerhouse of modern literature, mastering vastly different genres with each of her works. From the brutal, war torn world of The Poppy War, a grimdark fantasy. To the satirical takedown of the publishing industry in Yellowface. And my latest read, the thought-provoking alternate history of Babel. She showcases an incredible range of storytelling in each.
I'm very much looking forward to her latest novel Katabasis which is coming out later this year.
In this video, I create The Golden Translation. A crystal-clear, silver-toned cocktail with an elegant gold rim, in effort to capture the black, white, and gold aesthetic of Babel's cover. 🌟📖
This cocktail is bright, floral, and effervescent, made with vodka, elderflower liqueur, fresh lemon juice, and topped with prosecco.
The Golden Translation
2 oz vodka
0.5 oz elderflower liqueur
0.5 oz lemon juice
Top with prosecco
Gold Rim Garnish: Edible gold dust or gold sanding sugar
Lemon wedge float

Set in the opulent yet dangerous city of Camorr, Scott Lynch’s tale of cunning thieves and high-stakes cons is a perfect pairing for a green-and-gold drink—vibrant, bold, and deceptively complex.
This book will leave you craving more twists, more schemes, and another round in the city's shadowy streets.

Recipe: 1 part Drambuie, 1 part Grand Marnier, Cinnamon, Ice
Preparation: A classic Backdraft is prepared by pouring equal amounts of Drambuie and Grand Marnier into a snifter. The mixture is set alight, and after a few seconds, extinguished by having the imbiber seal the top of the glass with their hand, although often a coaster or saucer is used instead. Once the flame is out, a straw is inserted, keeping as much of the seal intact as possible to contain the vapors. Both the liquid and the vapors are then consumed through the straw.
Recipe:
3 oz Empress 1908 Gin
3 oz still/sparkling lemonade
1/2 oz Blue Curaçao
This will make an excellent Halloween cocktail for your upcoming events. Cheers!

"After an asteroid strike on the moon, a strange blue dust began to flow down through Earth’s atmosphere. It’s harmful to breathe, but at least the microscopic creatures within the dust are dormant. Or so we thought."
This book very much reminds me of Michael Crichton novels both in terms of the plausibility of a near-future incident actually occurring along with the detailed scientific explanations to go along with it.
Combine that with a strong, clever, and often funny female protagonist set in a Middle-Eastern region and you have the makings of a deep and gripping adventure.
The book has an excellent flow with good momentum that keeps you engaged. Lea is an expert at ending chapters on a long note that compels you to continue the story to find out what happens.
A definite recommendation. Check out here for more.
