Now available, Star Trek Cocktails, A Stellar Compendium, is a cookbook for Starfleet cocktails

Star Trek fans are interested in all things Star Trek, including what those captains and crew members were drinking aboard the Enterprise, the Voyager, and on Deep Space Nine. Just what was Quark serving up in his bar anyway? We knew the name of the drinks but had no clue how they tasted. Until now. Glenn Dakin has written a cookbook for cocktails, Star Trek Cocktails, A Stellar Compendium, which will give every fan the opportunity to taste the best drinks in the galaxy. According to the official book description, “these cosmic recipes will take you where no one has gone before.”

"Have you ever longed for a taste of Romulan Ale? Or pined for the mellowing effect of Dr McCoy’s Mint Julep? Perhaps a Fuzzy Tribble would get you purring? Or a soothing sip of Captain Picard’s Earl Grey Martini? This voyage into the future of stylish drinking is a must for all Star Trek – and cocktail – fans. With a galaxy of illustrations, and a witty garnish of quotations, this book will help you celebrate your favorite show.Mix the classic cocktails served on Starfleet starships throughout the Federation! Picard, Kirk, McCoy, Scotty, Quark, and more – try out each crew member’s favorite!"

Just released on November 3rd, Star Trek Cocktails is divided into eight chapters from First Contact to Emergency Medical Cocktails and Risan Sunset, and they all cover a different mood so you can pick one for anyway you’re feeling. And, according to the introduction, there’s one drink in particular, created by Quark, that offers a recipe for relaxation, but you’ll probably need a hangover cure for the next morning.

"Also, we present a drink destined to become a classic, the explosive Warp Core Breach, a cocktail said to be able to relax you for several days afterward, as made by Quark. Alongside classic cocktails with a STAR TREK twist, we also feature completely new TREK-inspired concoctions, that you will be among the first in the Galaxy to taste."

Star Trek Cocktails A Steller Compendium is available at the usual retailers in hardcover and ebook.
