"Elegant man-about-town and the director of Bridesmaids, Spy, and A Simple Favor Paul Feig serves up a ... cocktail and lifestyle guide with hilarious stories"--

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Elegant man-about-town and the director of Bridesmaids, Spy, and A Simple Favor, Paul Feig, serves up a beautifully designed cocktail and lifestyle guide with hilarious stories from his life.

Famed TV and film writer, director, and producer Paul Feig is obsessed with cocktails and cocktail culture. It’s about having great conversations with friends. It’s about putting on your best clothes and throwing a smart gathering or heading to your favourite bar and having an interesting chat with the bartender. And it’s about staying home, mixing a drink, and sipping it in a beautiful glass as you watch a great old movie by yourself.

Paul has made an art and a science out of creating these elegant and festive environments and living his best life, whether at home in LA, New York, or London, or on location around the world. It’s all here in Cocktail Time! β€” how to make the drinks, how to throw the parties, what music to play, what glassware you need, and more, along with 125 cocktail recipes, each served with funny insider stories about Paul’s Hollywood life and famous friends.

Cocktail Time! covers everything, from classics (and variations on them) like martinis, negronis, and hot toddies to original concoctions such as β€œThe Feigtini” and holiday cocktails. It also features recipes from film and TV industry friends, such as the Charlize Theron Gibson, the Very Cherry Kerry (Washington), the (Angela) Kinsey Gin Fizz, Henry (Golding)’s Honey Plum G&T, and The Five (Michelle) Yeoh-Larm Fire.

Cocktail Time! is a love letter to the aesthetics and culture around cocktails. It’s guaranteed to make you want to up your party-giving gameβ€”or at least your home bar situation. And it’s an immensely charming and readable window into one man’s friendly obsession.
