“Sometimes a man’ll tell his bartender things he’ll never tell his doctor,” once said Enterprise physician Dr. Phillip Boyce, and now fans of the franchise can learn to make all sorts of Star Trek sprits sing with Star Trek Cocktails, a new book coming this fall from Hero Collector.
Set to arrive just in time for happy hour on November 3 from Hero Collector, author Glenn Dakin’s Star Trek Cocktails: A Stellar Compendium is a new 152-page hardcover collection of bartender-friendly drink recipes from the United Federation of Planets (and beyond), with drinks inspired by all corners of the Star Trek universe.
Some examples include the “Live Long and Prosper,” a refreshing grapefruit drink; “Jean-Luc’s Earl Gray Martini,” and a mysterious-looking “Odo’s Chameleon.”
Here’s the publisher’s description:
Have you ever longed for a taste of Romulan Ale? Or pined for the mellowing effect of Dr McCoy’s Mint Julep? Perhaps a Fuzzy Tribble would get you purring? Or a soothing sip of Captain Picard’s Earl Grey Martini? This voyage into the future of stylish drinking is a must for all Star Trek – and cocktail – fans.
With dozens of recipes from mixology consultants Simon Pellet, Adrian Calderbank, photos by David Burton and Jess Esposito, illustrations by Adrian Salmon and a witty garnish of quotations gathered by Glenn Dakin, this book will help you say cheers to your favourite show and provide enough inspiration to help you launch your own franchise of Quark’s Bar.
We’ve also got two sample pages to share, courtesy of the Hero Collector announcement: “Kirk’s Old Fashioned” and a Rura Penthe-inspired “Ice Planet.”
You can find out more about this book at Hero Collector’s website, and you can preorder it now at Amazon ahead of the November 3 release.
But if you’re in the mood to whip up a 24th century-inspired drink of your own to celebrate the launch of Star Trek: Lower Decks next week, tonight we can share with you this recipe for blue Romulan Whiskey!
As featured in the first clip from the series, this make-it-yourself recipe comes to us thanks to this fancy Lower Decks party-at-home kit we received from CBS All Access today, since obvious pandemic concerns preclude the usual Hollywood event typically accompanying a new Star Trek series launch.
While we all may be stuck at home for the launch of the new series, we hope you’ll join us in a drink on August 6 when Star Trek: Lower Decks beams down to CBS All Access and CTV Sci Fi — and we’ll have an extra one on behalf of global fans, still awaiting news on their own chance to see the new series.
