Review "We can't think of a better way to head into the holidays than with a plethora of Trek-inspired libations to sample through the New Year. Just remember, the book doesn't come with a Dr. Crusher to deal with that hangover the next morning. Drink responsibly!" - SyFy WireFrom the IntroductionCocktails themselves have featured in STAR TREK, and a couple of classics await you here, including the delightful Samarian Sunset from TNG, a drink that changes color at a light ‘ping’ on the side of the glass. We’ll do our best to conjure that, without 24th-century technology. Also, we present a drink destined to become a classic, the explosive Warp Core Breach, a cocktail said to be able to relax you for several days afterward, as made by Quark. Alongside classic cocktails with a STAR TREK twist, we also feature completely new TREK-inspired concoctions, that you will be among the first in the Galaxy to taste. So replicate your ingredients and engage your taste buds. Let’s see what’s out there… About the Author Glenn Dakin is a cartoonist and writer.

The martini Boyce makes was the first drink in that futuristic world, and made it very clear that alcohol was not going to be outmoded in the 23rd century. Gene Roddenberry, creator of the show, was full of visionary notions – a world without prejudice, inequality, poverty or materialism. But the Great Bird of the Galaxy was wise enough to know that a future with no recognizable human behavior would have viewers in the present switching off. At the time the first series was made, drinking was very much part of the social glue. Viewers might accept a future without smoking (Star Trek was prophetic in its removal of tobacco from society), but a world of friends, work pals, comrades in arms, without the odd glass together? Hard to imagine. STAR TREK has been called “Wagon Train to the stars,” after the popular NBC Western of the time, and drink is used in the first series very much as it is used in the Western genre ... to start fights, and then ... well, to make up after them.
