A Spirited Look at Drinks in Pop Culture
"...celebrates drinking lore across a wide range of comic book and video game universes..." --WineMag.com
#1 New Release in Alcoholic Drinks & Beer
Sci-fi and fantasy worlds are full of characters who know that sometimes magic happens at the bar. In addition to being a mixed drinks and alcoholic drinks book, Drink Like a Geek is a look at iconic drinks and the roles they play in our pop culture--our favorite movies, shows, books, and comics. It's also a toast to the geeks, nerds, and gamers who keep this pop culture alive.
Flights of fantasy. Drink Like a Geek is a fan encyclopedia and cocktail book. Because we strongly encourage audience participation, dozens of recipes for otherworldly cocktails, brews, and booze are included.
A great 21st birthday idea. If you're looking for nerd gifts, Drink Like a Geek raises the bar. Homebrewers and mixology geeks who are fans of superheroes, wizards, or intergalactic adventure will also enjoy this book's celebration of real-world bar-arcades, geeky Tiki culture, and the surprising connections between space and modern booze.
In Drink Like a Geek, you'll find entertainment and drinks for fans who love:
Sci-fi
Comic books
Wizards
Genre TV
B-movies
Videogames
Cosplay and conventions
And space!
You'll love this book if you enjoy pun-filled cocktail recipe books and cookbooks like Tequila Mockingbird: Cocktails with a Literary Twist; Gone with the Gin: Cocktails with a Hollywood Twist; The Bob's Burgers Burger Book: Real Recipes for Joke Burgers; Heroes' Feast (Dungeons & Dragons); The Geeky Bartender Drinks; or The Geeky Chef Drinks.
