#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

"It has been a great year for pop-up bars that pay homage to science fiction with themed menus and crazy décor, and this book feels like a visit to one of those bars. It dives deep into “Star Wars” prequels, “Doctor Who” (the blue-hued Gin & Tardis) and superhero culture (a Midori-spiked Hulk Smash), so a very specific audience will love this book." -Liquor.com
