Cheers To TV

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.
