For those (such as myself) who were looking for a good excuse to install a DVD player over the bar, Summer Quenchers serves up a simple and accessible guide to making over 50 of the world's best chick-drinks (those sweet ones with an umbrella on a stick, and an orange or cherry that guys really truly wish they were man enough to order). Not only are we shown, in no-frills style, a bartender mixing traditional cocktails such as Mai Tai's, Rum Runners, Sangrias and Long Island Ice Teas, but we're also introduced to some truly exotic and inviting mixology in drinks called the "Hemingway Daiquiri," "Watermelon Martini," "Tantric Kiss," "58 Les Paul Sunburst Goldtop," "Tropical Hooters," and--my personal favorite--"Liquid Zen." Bonus DVD features include segments on flavoring accents, glassware, ice-ology, garnishes and more. Tiny paper umbrellas not included. Recommended. Aud: P. (R. Ray)
