<p>Covid-19 turned the world upside down in a matter of weeks. Shelter-in-place, quaranting, staying-at-home left many of us not even knowing what day of the week it was. We needed something to add structure to the shapeless hours, a daily reminder that there is always a reason to celebrate. Why not welcome the evenings with Cocktail Hour?  Borne from a Facebook challenge to concoct a different cocktail each day, Jeremy Cooper and Andy Klausner turned the early 50 days of their lockdown into this light-hearted journal. "Cocktail Hour Meets?a Pandemic" offers a back-of-the-napkin account of 50 cocktail recipes, some new and some edited classics (and some definitely better than others), alongside stories about their love of all things Drink, Eat, Travel, and Entertainment. (There is a lot of tequila?plus a spoiled cat.) While frequent get-togethers hosted in pre-Covid times were replaced with Zoom cocktail hours, and travel came from reminiscince, old photo albums and attempts to re-create some of the global cocktail and dining adventures that they have enjoyed since 1997, this work re-counts their journey.Andy and Jeremy are not mixologists, nor do they aspire to be. They prefer that this book - as well as their perfectly imperfect cocktails and photos - reflect the reality of the situation. Some days kind of sucked. Some days brought true joy. Many drinks brought back fond memories of once-in-a-lifetime adventures. But one thing was always certain: cocktail hour gave a reason to raise a glass during those seemingly endless days.If you buy the book (and you really should buy the book), you will laugh a bit and hopefully take away a recipe or two that you can make your own. Andy and Jeremy will even share food recipes upon request!

<p>Cocktail Hour Meets ? A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION is the second in a series of back-of-the-napkin cocktail books resulting from quarantining at home during Covid-19. Little did anyone know when authors Jeremy Cooper and Andy Klausner published Cocktail Hour Meets ? A PANDEMIC in July that the pandemic would continue and converge, head-to-head, with a very important presidential election. With the non-stop cycle of breaking news, we may not always know what day it is, but we do know there is always cocktail hour! The inspiration for the book came on one of their daily pandemic walks: 45 cocktails in 45 days, starting on September 20, 2020, and ending on election day, November 3, 2020. A cocktail named in honor (memory, respect, or lampoon) of each of the 45 presidents of the United States. (or 46 cocktails in 46 days, starting on September 20, 2020 and ending the day after the election. A cocktail named in honor (memory, respect or lampoon) of each of the 45 Presidents of the United States and the current President-elect.) Mixed in with the cocktails are interesting tidbits about each president (and the president-elect) and a timeline of significant events that occurred during each president's tenure to provide historical context. If you buy the book, you will hopefully learn something new about the men that have led this country and take away a recipe or two that you can probably improve upon. And a portion of all sales will be donated to Vote.org - a national nonprofit that fights for fair elections and against voter suppression.</p>
