This is not a pessimistic book. It is a book for those who can stare down a dozen existential threats to all of humankind while still enjoying a cocktail.<br>The rise of artificial intelligence, the downfall of democracy, population collapse, the melting ice caps, incoming meteors, disease, famine, nuclear war are all perfectly good reasons to kick back and have a drink. But not just any drink. A drink as fantastic as the catastrophic ends we are all doomed to meet.<br>Inside are time-tested recipes and detailed instructions for the Old Fashioned, the Manhattan, the Margarita, the Martini, the Negroni, and many more classic cocktails to sip under the shade of the mushroom clouds. Cheers!
