ovies returns with dozens of delicious and easy-to-prepare drinks that will elevate your next TV watch party.
The perfect pop culture pairing, this collection of drinks inspired by iconic television characters blends old and new, spicy and sweet, strong and mellow.
Cheers to TV connects sixty cocktails to stars of the small screen. Some are invented specifically for that character, such as the Bloody Ending, inspired by
Game of Thrones' Daenerys Targaryen, or the Stringer Bell, an ode to
The Wire. Others deliver a TV twist to an established cocktail--a Rusty Nail for
Better Call Saul's titular hero, for instance. Some are cocktails created by the show itself--
Absolutely Fabulous' Stoli-Bolli is sure to outlive its boozy inventor Patsy Stone. There are mocktails like the Banana Stand (honoring George Michael Bluth from
Arrested Development), coffee-tinged drinks such as the Central Perk (for
Friends' Rachel), and even a rainbow slushie inspired by
Pose's Blanca Evangelista.
Along with clever, original illustrations, straightforward recipes, and engaging texts about the shows and characters, the authors cover the mixology basics: bar equipment; types of spirits, liqueurs, juices, and bitters; garnishes and glassware.
Whether you prefer appointment television or an hours-long stream-a-thon, this book will up the enjoyment factor. Just remember: sip the cocktail, binge the show.
