No bachelor pad, lounge, or luau is complete without a cocktail, and this handy hipster's recipe book includes five dozen of them, each inspired by everyone's favorite cool cat, the Pink Panther. The Clouseau blends bourbon, cherry liqueur, triple sec, and light cream for a scintillating drink that pays tribute to the bumbling but beloved inspector. The Phantom, aka the Sir Charles Cocktail, combines lemon-flavored vodka, triple sec, grapefruit juice, and fresh lemon for an appropriately sophisticated taste. Of course, the Panther himself is here in a variety of luscious libations, including some that are actually pink thanks to ingredients like pink lemonade and grapefruit juice. Colorful retro artwork by the infamous Shag adds to the fun, and the bonus CD expands the experience with video clips and songs from Virgin Records' "Pink Panther Penthouse Party."

In this handy little guide major mixologist Adam Rocke joins forces with retro artist extraordinaire Shag to offer atomic-age drinks for any mood, event, or lifestyle — all inspired by, and starring, the Pink Panther. In 52 recipe cards, some of them appropriately pink, the book presents such luscious libations as the Clouseau, a blend of bourbon, cherry liqueur, triple sec, and light cream that pays tribute to the bumbling but beloved inspector; the Pink Panther, a mix of gin, dry vermouth, crème de cassis, and other exotic ingredients guaranteed to slake any thirst; and the Inspector Dreyfus, a sweet-sexy mélange of bourbon, gin, and cherry syrup that’s ideal for retro relaxing. Rocke’s expert creations and Shag’s bold, '50s-style graphics make this guide the fun last word on the subject.
