The introduction explains how alcohol was a part of <em>Star Trek<\/em> from the beginning of the series.<\/p>\n<p>The chapters are each devoted to different categories of drinks, including: aperitifs, cocktails, romantic drinks, entertaining, party drinks, relaxation, drinks for lonely nights and drinks for after hours. Each recipe is accompanied by an illustration showing the drink and by a Trek quote.<\/p>\n<p>Fans will be pleased to see that all Trek eras are covered, from the original series through <em>Star Trek: Discovery.<\/em> And the drinks come from places other than Earth; fans can make drinks named after or drinks favored by aliens such as the Borg, the Romulans, Klingons, Tribbles and more.<\/p>\n<p>This book will surely be of interest to those who love Trek and who like to mix up different drinks. With New Year&#8217;s Eve rapidly approaching, why not pick up the book and try out some of these recipes for yourself. I plan to do so.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53840\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/VoyTNGDrinks.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/VoyTNGDrinks.jpg 580w, https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/VoyTNGDrinks-50x19.jpg 50w, https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/VoyTNGDrinks-150x58.jpg 150w, https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/VoyTNGDrinks-300x117.jpg 300w, https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/VoyTNGDrinks-450x175.jpg 450w, https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/VoyTNGDrinks-50x19@2x.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Book Information:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Author: <strong>Glen Dakin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Publisher: <em>Hero Collector<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Publication Date: November 3, 2020<\/p>\n<p>ISBN-13: 978-1858759685<\/p>\n<p>ISBN-10: 1858759684<\/p>\n<p>Pages: 140<\/p>\n<p><em>Star Trek Cocktails &#8211; A Stellar Compendium<\/em> is available as a hardback for $22.46 on <em>Amazon<\/em> or as an eBook for $15.99.
