Woke up this morning and who do I see in the papers?
Honored to be featured in Forward Times for their thoughtful write-up on my editorial cocktail book, Aphro. It's even more of an honor that the first feature for Aphro is a Black historical news outlet from my city. 🤘🏾
This project is near and dear to me. Given the themes the book explores, I’m especially grateful for the care and consideration given to the work. The perfect photographer @riaotherworld that has honestly been the caveat to me seeing myself truly and holds me accountable in creative spaces.
The model was perfect and absolutely stunning too. Shouts out to @lsp_xxv
This is such a beautiful way to begin Women’s History Month! Thank you to @drdougla and @forwardtimes
Read the full article in my bio and make sure to pick up a paper copy. Locations are in my bio as well! 🥂
First proof came in the mail! The hardest part of the entire process is getting to production, but it is a GORGEOUS book. Promise I'm not being bias 🥰
Get your pre-order (link in the bio) because it is a stunner on your coffee table, in your bar cart, and so much literature to learn from 🍸🍸
@riaotherworld is on another level with her lens 📷
Okay. Let’s talk big milestones
My cocktail book "Aphro" in collaboration with @riaotherworld drops January 4th
Yes, on my birthday. 🎂🍸
This isn’t “just a recipe book.”
It’s a cultural project.
A visual anthology. ( BIG THANKS TO @riaotherworld ) A collection of cocktails rooted in history, sensuality, and the interior lives of women, especially Black women.
I wanted to make a book that felt like:
• red lipstick on the rim of a glass
• a soft life we don’t need permission for
• the kind of pleasure that doesn’t apologize
Specs:
9x12 Hardcover
140 pages of art, essays, photography, & cocktails
Pre-order:
ohbevin.com (link in bio as well)
Share this, send it to a friend, post it on your story ❤️
Here’s to alignment, pleasure, and new chapters. ✨

Inspired by my book Aphro, The Big O Roundtable, is part of a series that goes through each phase of the Sexual Response Cycle. For this, we talk everything Orgasm, sex tech, trauma, patriarchy, misogyny. So the great, good, bad and ugly.
The question today is, how many orgasms have you had in one session or in a day?
My lucky number is 17 😭 (do not recommend)

Thank you to everyone who showed up and poured into the very first Aphro book release event and sold it out! It meant more than I can put into words.
Deep gratitude to @houstonartsalliance , @lasperrascafe , @_artmindandsoul , and @mezcalverdeamaras for helping bring this vision to life. Y’all truly set this dream in motion.

🍸📚 Houston’s own mixologist-turned-author is shaking up way more than cocktails.
Bevin Biggers’ literary debut, Aphro: A Cocktail Book on the Sexual Response Cycle blends bold drink recipes with unfiltered conversations around Black female sexuality, history, and empowerment. From aphrodisiac-inspired cocktails to deep dives into stereotypes and the orgasm gap, this isn’t your average cocktail book—it’s part manifesto, part mixology masterclass. ✨
With striking visuals, personal storytelling, and over a decade of bartending expertise poured into every page, Biggers is creating space for curiosity, confidence, and conversation, one drink at a time. 🖤🥃
