Broadway has always raised a glass to celebrate itself—what’s an opening night without popping the cork of a bottle of Champagne? I’ll Drink to That! Broadway’s Legendary Stars, Classic Shows, and the Cocktails They Inspired is a celebration of theatrical tradition, a souvenir of magic moments on stage, and a practical guide to concocting one-of-a-kind craft cocktail recipes inspired by the classics of the American stage.
I’ll Drink to That! expertly mixes clever cocktails that pay homage to unforgettable Broadway shows--such as the Rainbow High from Evita and the Sidecar Named Desire--with authentic recipes for drinks that played supporting roles in beloved shows--like the legendary Vodka Stinger from Company--and shakes it up with a history of the cocktail on Broadway, detailed by one of the leading musical theater historians, Laurence Maslon.
Featured throughout are fantastic images—from intoxicating images of classic shows to portraits of effervescent stage celebrities to vintage liquor ads featuring Broadway stars. Of course, the drinks themselves get their own spotlight, photographed by the legendary Broadway photographer Joan Marcus at the iconic Sardi’s restaurant, home to hundreds of opening nights over the past century.
With drinks ranging from the South Pacific-inspired Bali Ha’i Ma’i Ta’i to Mame’s Cornhusker mint julep to the Hamilton My Shot, and illustrated with a wide range of rare drawings, posters, and advertisements,, 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 bubbly theatrical history.
30 DRINK RECIPES: Dozens of delicious drink recipes from pre-theater cocktails to cozy after-theater toddies to celebratory toasts guaranteed to earn a standing ovation!
COCKTAILS WITH A TWIST: Clever takes on Broadways shows and show tunes, including the Toast of Mayfair (Cabaret), the Bloody Sweeney (Sweeney Todd), and the Dead Thing (Beetlejuice).
STARS OF THE SHOW: Classic recipes for drinks that feature center stage in famous plays and musicals, such as the Vodka Stinger from Company and the Sazerac from State of the Union.
BROADWAY’S BUBBLY HISTORY: Dive deep into dozens of stories and anecdotes about how cocktails and drinking played a role in creating some of Broadway’s greatest hits.
