Drink One for the Team: 75 Winning Cocktail Recipes Inspired by Legendary Sporting Events

This sport-themed cocktail recipe book will transform readers from a rookie to an all-star home bartender-includes sports trivia, historical facts, and playful color illustrations. Relive the earliest days of Tour de France with a beverage featuring Bonal, a liqueur that was frequently chugged by riders to calm their nerves and leg cramps. Toast to the world's oldest international sailing contest, the America's Cup, with an equally prestigious tiki-fied treasure, the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club. Salute the unique history of China's Dragon Boat Festival with a spicy, endearing Dragon's Breath made with baijiu, an ancient rice-based liquor that's poised to explode in popularity outside of its native country. The cocktails here include some of the best and oldest classics, modern takes on standbys like the Negroni and the Margarita, and regionally innovative concoctions from globally recognized bars and bartenders. Drink One for the Team offers plenty of fresh, exciting, and out-of-the ballpark flavors for even the most seasoned armchair quarterback-slash-mixologist to try. And, best of all, you don't have to be a fan of a specific team, sport, or competition to try (and appreciate) a well-made beverage.
