Lose those girly cocktails and start drinking like a real man—a real old man! – with these 60+ recipes for good classic drinks that can be strong, simple, and served without a speech.

These Old Man Drinks are guaranteed to put hair on that scrawny baby’s bottom you call a chest. From Boilermakers and Sidecars to Rusty Nails and Satan’s Whiskers, the old-school party starters featured in this book go down just as rough as they sound. No pink drinks or foo-foo umbrellas here! Just the good stuff—whiskey, rye, bourbon, gin—and some priceless life lessons that only the very old can provide.

Compact, funny, and genuinely useful behind the bar, Old Man Drinks is both a classic cocktail recipe book and a celebration of old-school bar culture—perfect for home bartenders, whiskey and bourbon drinkers, cocktail-history fans, dads, grandfathers, and anyone who appreciates a strong drink and a good story.
  • Mix 60+ classic and vintage cocktails: Old-Fashioneds, Sidecars, Clover Clubs, Rusty Nails, Hot Toddys, Monte Carlos, Boilermakers, and other old-school favorites
  • Rediscover straightforward cocktails built around the spirits that have been barroom standards for generations
  • Recipes are paired with stories, observations, and life lessons from real older guys who know their way around a bar
  • Black-and-white portrait photographs add personality and nostalgia to this celebration of classic drinking culture
  • A compact gift for cocktail lovers, whiskey fans, dads, grandfathers, bartenders, and anyone who prefers their drinks—and humor—old-school

Man up, quit your bitchin’, and grab a stool, ’cause it’s gonna be a long night.
