The Essential Star Trek Cocktail Book Sharon Powell

There was one thing that I actually missed when watching the shows as a child, and it was the type of alcoholic drinks that were featured in the shows. The universe of mixology was opened to new worlds and new civilizations and boldly drank where no one has drunk before!

From the blazing surface of Aldebaran to the beautiful moonless glow of Vulcan, galactic alcohol takes on many different names and flavours in the Star Trek universe. Whether you watch a classic episode featuring William Shatner or a newer spot from Picard with Sir Patrick Stewart, a drop of Aldebaran Whiskey or a mug full of Andorian Ale is never far away in the background. Old friends, new acquaintances, a power lunch between captains are all scenarios that clearly need a drink.
