Birds, Booze, and Brilliant Puns in One Book
A witty, illustrated cocktail guide for bird lovers, Make Myna Double pairs scientifically sound ornithology with pun-filled, bird-inspired drink recipes that are as delightful as they are delicious.

Birds and booze, together at last. Whether you're a budding birder or just love a well-crafted cocktail, Make Myna Double offers a playful and practical crash course in bartending and birdwatching. With every recipe tied to a real species—from hummingbirds and toucans to kiwis and ptarmigans—you’ll learn the science behind feathers and flavors while shaking up creative drinks.

Crafted by a PhD ornithologist turned full-time cocktail creator. Katie Stryjewski, known for her Instagram @garnish_girl, combines her love of birds with years of mixology experience to create this one-of-a-kind guide. Each page brings together bird facts, clever puns, and mixology tips, with recipes grouped by spirit and presented alongside scientific sidebars, drink layering techniques, and fun field guide illustrations.

Inside, you’ll find:

65 original cocktail and mocktail recipes, inspired by real birds and classic drinks
Ornithological sidebars and bird facts, from courtship displays to brood parasitism
Mixology guidance on tools, glassware, ingredients, and layering techniques
Humor and education in equal parts, perfect for bird nerds and home bartenders alike

If you liked Tequila Mockingbird, Modern Cocktale Classics, or Mocktales, you’ll love Make Myna Double.

Katie Stryjewski is a PhD-trained ornithologist, cocktail creator, and the voice behind the popular Instagram account @garnish_girl, where she shares inventive recipes and stunning drink photography with over 26,000 followers.

She is also the author of Cocktails, Mocktails, and Garnishes from the Garden.
