At least that is according to a new cocktail recipe book that pays homage to world famous pop divas including Taylor Swift and Britney Spears.

'Each chapter of this book is a journey through a playlist dedicated to a specific feeling—from coping with soul-crushing heartbreak to feeling like you want to hop on a table and dance it out—and is filled with easy to make, beautiful cocktails dedicated to tracks from top female artists,' the description of the book reads
The description of the book reads: 'Sip Me, Baby, One More Time combines the art of cocktail making with the power of these artists to create an experience curated by emotion.
'Each chapter of this book is a journey through a playlist dedicated to a specific feeling—from coping with soul-crushing heartbreak to feeling like you want to hop on a table and dance it out—and is filled with easy to make, beautiful cocktails dedicated to tracks from top female artists.'
With chapters dedicated to the various stages of a love affair - heartbreak, fury, healing, celebrating, comfort, longing and love - it's unsurprising that Taylor Swift's discography is the inspiration behind many of the recipes.
This includes a vodka midori cocktail, inspired by Swift's hit song 'Karma' from her album 'Midnights', which is comprised of egg whites, triple sec, lemon juice, and fruit garnishes.
'With the sparkly green of this drink, I wanted to evoke that gorgeously smug aesthetic—not to mention the green monster of envy, the kind of envy someone might feel if karma isn’t quite as relaxing a thought for them,' the author said.
The drinks are designed to look as good as they taste - even specifying which piece of glassware will best match your mood.
And if you don't drink, Gibson said that you can omit the alcohol and make it a mocktail instead.
Each chapter in the book covers cocktails to drink at various stages of a love affair: heartbreak, fury, healing, celebration, comfort, longing and love (Pictured: Sad Girl Sangria inspired by Swift's 10 minute breakup ballad 'All Too Well')
In adulthood, Gibson has married her love for popstars and cocktails (Pictured: the vodka midori Karma cocktail)
