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.

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:

And space!
