Description
Book SynopsisSports, Drinks and Trivia. The Perfect Combination for any Sports Fanatic.
In a perfect world everyone would be able to attend great sporting events—the Super Bowl, the Masters, the Stanley Cup Playoffs. But when getting to the game isn't possible, watching the event with friends in the comfort of your own home is the next best option. In Sports Bar: Cocktails and Sports Trivia, sports fanatic and professional bartender Bryan Paiement provides you with everything you need to kick back and enjoy the game in style.
Featuring 40 original cocktail recipes specially crafted with the world's most famous sporting events in mind, you can impress your friends with drinks such as "Augusta on My Mind," "Lord Stanley Sour," and "The Brickyard Toast." And when the game slows down (or your team starts to lose), Sport Bar offers amazing, often unbelievable sports facts that will, when paired with a delicious cocktail, spark conversation among your friends: Why are Roman numerals used to number Super Bowls? How many calories does the average cyclist burn during one stage of the Tour de France? Who was the first woman jockey to ever ride in the Kentucky Derby?
So pull out your team jerseys and let Sports Bar inspire you to gather your friends together for the game and a great time.
Trade Review"Celebrating sports as varied as cricket to cliff-diving, Paiement has crafted a beguiling cocktail book laced with lore and libations.
