In this handy little guide major mixologist Adam Rocke joins forces with retro artist extraordinaire Shag to offer atomic-age drinks for any mood, event, or lifestyle all inspired by, and starring, the Pink Panther. In 52 recipe cards, some of them appropriately pink, the book presents such luscious libations as the Clouseau, a blend of bourbon, cherry liqueur, triple sec, and light cream that pays tribute to the bumbling but beloved inspector; the Pink Panther, a mix of gin, dry vermouth, crème de cassis, and other exotic ingredients guaranteed to slake any thirst; and the Inspector Dreyfus, a sweet-sexy mélange of bourbon, gin, and cherry syrup thats ideal for retro relaxing. Rockes expert creations and Shags bold, '50s-style graphics make this guide the fun last word on the subject.
