How to Watch

While she was at it, the animal-lover gave an update on her dog, Mya. In a November 9 Instagram post, Ariana shared a photo of herself on the couch, cozying up to her dog. "This has been an insane year and it's not over yet!" she wrote. "I’m about to go on tour to celebrate the release of my book and I'd love to kick back with you first (maybe Mya too) and test out some of my favorite cocktail recipes."

She continued: "I'm hosting a Cocktail Night In on [AirBnB] and I'd love for you to be there to make some drinks and toast to an incredible year."

Ariana Madix's new cocktail book is her "breakup album" 

Ariana's new tome, Single AF Cocktails: Drinks for Bad B*tches, will be released on December 5. "I have my own cocktail book and tell my own story," she said in a TalkShopLove session in October.

"This is essentially my breakup album, and it's really exciting to be able to put it out there because I really like to express myself creatively and heal through creative expression and this is my version of doing that," she shared. "I definitely wrote this book at a time in my life when I was feeling a lot of raw emotion, so you'll definitely be seeing a very vulnerable side of me in this book."
