Star Trek Cocktails: A Stellar Compendium

A delightful collection of Star Trek-themed cocktails with a classy vintage feel. The art and photography are just perfect and a lot of thought has been put into Trek/drink puns and back stories for each cocktail recipe.
Realistically most of the recipes are just Trek names on classic drinks and the book leans heavily on complicated recipes involving multiple types of rum, and liqueurs that I would be unlikely to drink again (the last bottle of melon liqueur I bought was for a Halloween punch in my 20s and I think I ended up throwing out half of it). There are probably only one or two drinks in this book I'll actually try beyond ones that are really familiar under their classic names (e.g. the mimosa, renamed "Buck's Fizzbin"). Still, overall the experience of perusing the book was delightful enough that I don't regret buying it.
