I'll Drink to That! Broadway Cocktails

“Broadway fans can raise a glass to the theater lore in this gorgeous book, but, in addition, the thirty-plus cocktail recipes in Maslon’s I’ll Drink To That! are elegant, inventive, and a worthy addition to the repertoire of any mixologist–amateur or professional.” – -Tom Colicchio, Chef & Owner of Crafted Hospitality“Let’s all drink to I’ll Drink To That! It’s the best kind of “but what about?” book–every time I read one of Maslon’s anecdotes and thought, “Ah, but what about…..” it’d end up being on the next page. Delectable cocktails, mouth-watering photos, and the perfect anecdote for every libation ever served on a Broadway stage. It’s a wonderful compendium. Fizzy and funny and fine, it slakes a thirst I didn’t know I had.” – -Bob Mondello, NPR“I love it. What a remarkable and–dare I say it?– innovative book. To weave cocktails through theater and theater through cocktails is nothing short of brilliant” – -Ted Chapin, producer and author, Everything Was Possible.“It’s one of the handsomest theater books I’ve ever seen. The photos by Joan Marcus. And the text by Larry Maslon– its wit, its tone–it’s what we dream theater backstage will always be. This book is a treasure and finally I have a gift to give for any occasion.” – -John Guare, playwright
