It’s time for night number two of our Hanukkah celebration, complete with eight straight nights of giveaways. Tonight is the second night of Hanukkah, so today there’s fun stuff to win!
As I mentioned yesterday, in addition to readerly items, we’ll be celebrating the different features and contributions from Elyse, RedHeadedGirl, Carrie, and Amanda.
But most of all, we’ll be celebrating you because the site wouldn’t be as awesome fun as it is without you.
So get ready and grabbed some fried food!
The second Smart Bitches Hanukkah Party giveaway celebrates Amanda’s Covers & Cocktails, and invites you to mix up and read! The prize? A stainless steel bar set, martini glasses, and a $25 bookstore gift card – winner’s choice of retailer! I wish it were easier to send liquor, but alas, that’s not an easy option, so we’re going with the accoutrements of mixed beverages, and the possibility of books, allowing you to fill in the libation and the library of your choosing!
The martini glasses are stemless, which I prefer in my glassware because I am klutzy and I talk with my hands. These hold 8 oz. and are 3 7/8″ (9.5cm) tall x 4″ in diameter (10cm).
Aren’t they cute? I think so. I think most of my glassware is stemless at this point. Easy to wash in the dishwasher, too.
So, ready to drink enter to win?
Please leave a comment and tell us what you’d drink while reading! It doesn’t have to be alcoholic – but we welcome your beverage recommendations should you have any!

Congrats, Dana, and thank you to everyone who entered. Two down, and six to go!
If I’m drinking at home it’s usually wine. We have a great local winery called Bogle that has great wine and reasonable prices. If we’re at a bar I’m almost always drinking Captain & Cokes.
Sipping Irish coffee while snuggled up in a warm, colorful crocheted afghan with a good book = Heaven!!
I’d drink a nice cup of tea. I’m a tea-aholic but my favorite at the moment is from Republic of Tea, Downton Abbey’s Bates Blackberry tea. In fact, I think I’ll go make a cup now to sip while I’m reading my newest In Death book.
I don’t really drink much alcohol, but I’m always up for a Sprite Zero. 🙂
This time of year, hot chocolate and Bailey’s.
Gin martinis with olive!!! Num num…
Gimlets, duh. 🙂
Chai for morning reading, a nice herbal tea for evening reading.
Wine, white zin, specifically. Or margaritas with all the salt. If it’s during the day (I’m not Jessica Jones over here), I’m drinking water. If I’m sick, it’s a double of Jack Daniels with a liberal squeeze of honey.
Manhattan.
White Russians
Hmmmm, champagne sets the mood!
Juice or water
Sleepy time tea. My favorite!
Thanks so much for the giveaway.
I like to indulge in a little egg nog + reading around the holidays!
When I hear “martini,” the first thing that comes to mind is “Bond. James Bond,” but I did not like the Bond of the books at all. However, I do love the authors of the Jazz Age. OTOH, I’ve never had a good martini as the only ones I had mom made with cheap gin and I think they need really good gin. Also I prefer olives.
Mello Yello Zero is my drink of choice when I can find it lol.
Tea. Nothing is as good as tea for readingtime.
I love hot tea. Chai or green, often fruit flavored. yum.
Probably tea. If someone is providing the drink, probably a cocktail 🙂
Usually I’m drinking water flavored with lime.
A restaurant near me serves a drink called “a dirty leprechaun”. It contains Kaluha, green creme de mint, baileys, and vanilla vodka. I’ve managed to come up with a version that’s close enough on proportions that make a similar and tasty drink.
.75 ounce Kaluha
.75 ounce green creme de mint
1 ounce baileys
1 – 1.5 ounces vanilla vodka
I tend to drink more when I’m writing, in which case a margarita works best. Probably if I were reading it would be a craft beer, shandy, or hard cider.
Hard apple cider with a cinnamon stick for garnish/flavor
In the a.m. I like a little whiskey in my coffee because, ya know, it’s Ireland somewhere. In the p.m. I’ve been drinking some Cutty Sark Prohibition Edition with a giant hipster spherical ice cube. It’s also Scotland somewhere ye ken lasses.
I’ve been into Moscow mules lately. Or maybe a sidecar? That’s a thing, right?
generally stick to diet coke
I usually drink hot cocoa while i read, but tis the season so it’s peppermint hot cocoa 🙂
Tea is always good – sometimes a nice Assam, sometimes a Long Island iced!
I feel like a Last Word is really the most appropriate for literary purposes, but I’m just as likely to have a Manhattan of an evening.
G&T, all year round.
This time of year, it has to be our homemade Irish Cream.
a nice glass of chardonnay or a cup of black tea
Sweet sweet coffee
Since coming to Europe, the thing I miss most and would totally drink while reading is eggnog.
chai tea
I’m all for stem less glassware.- not only am I a klutz but I also have 3 cats one of whom has a serious drinking problem – he always wants to drink what I’m drinking.
What would I be drinking while reading? The perfect martini – a Mexican Martini. Happy Hanukkah!
Earl Grey Moonlight, usually. It’s hard to drink hard liquor and read… that’s what bad TV is for!
It’s definitely hot toddy season! Or maybe some mulled wine?
I love a good pomegranate martini but as I am feeling a bit under the weather at the moment, I am drinking an Irish tea.
