THE COCKTAIL GUIDE TO THE GALAXY

For the first time ever comes a book that unites two of the best things in the world: nerd culture, and booze. Because if anything is true, it’s that nerds are awesome, and many of us like to throw back an adult beverage or two while re-watching Firefly for the seventeenth time. The Cocktail Guide to the Galaxy, by Andy Heidel, the notable owner of The Way Station in Brooklyn, NY; will be on-sale September 26, 2017. A true mecca for nerd culture, The Way Station has found its way on to numerous lists of the best sci-fi bars and is even complete with a TARDIS themed bathroom.

Including over 100 fun and easy to make recipes – these cocktails are simple to make with no crazy ingredients – The Cocktail Guide to the Galaxy features more of the themed cocktails Heidel’s patrons know and love and is filled with pop culture references from Metropolis, to Guardians of the Galaxy, to Star Wars, and everything in between. Some of the recipes include:

·         Doc B’s Wakeup Juice (Back to the Future)

·         Sonic Screwdrivers (Doctor Who)

·         Shirley Temple of Doom (Indiana Jones)

·         Jameson T. Kirk (Star Trek)

·         Blue Milk (Star Wars)

We’re currently at the height of nerd culture! This year alone, we’ll see new Star Wars, Transformers, Marvel, Alien, and Planet of the Apesmovies – all which have at least one cocktail featured in this book.
