Reviews"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."

SynopsisWe'd like to propose a toast...to Broadway! Learn the spirited history of drinking on stage (and off) and how to make cocktails inspired by the most iconic shows from Broadway. 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.
