Publisher's Synopsis
Broadway has always raised a glass to celebrate itself, both on-stage and off-stage-what's an opening night without popping the cork on a bottle of Champagne? I'll Drink to That! is a celebration of theatrical tradition, a souvenir of magic moments on stage, and a practical guide to make one-of-a-kind craft cocktail recipes inspired by the best of Broadway! I'll Drink to That! expertly mixes clever cocktails that pay homage to Broadway shows, such as the Rainbow High from Evita and the Sidecar Named Desire from A Streetcar Named Desire, with authentic recipes for drinks that play supporting roles in beloved shows, like the infamous Vodka Stinger from Company, and shakes it up with the history the cocktail on Broadway. Featured throughout are fantastic images, from vintage liquor ads featuring Broadway stars, to images from shows and the big drinkers of the era. And the drinks get their own starring role, photographed by the legendary Broadway photographer Joan Marcus at the iconic Sardi's restaurant, home to hundreds of opening nights for the past 90 years. With drinks ranging from Mame's Mint Julep to Beetlejuice's Dead Thing, and illustrated with a wide range of rare drawings, posters, and advertisements, as well as photographs of the drinks themselves taken in the storied Sardi's restaurant by legendary Broadway photographer Joan Marcus, I'll Drink to That! is the perfect gift for anyone who loves the theater, enjoys an elegant bend of the elbow, and wants to be part of a long and tipsy theatrical history.
