Drop anchor, dust off your captain’s hat, and pull out your cocktail shaker. Yacht Rock Cocktails is your invitation to the golden age of good vibes. Whether you’re hosting the soiree of the summer or settling in for an evening of easy listening, this is your ticket to beachy drinks, watercolor sunsets, and that breezy West Coast sound.
Part cocktail book and part soundtrack, Yacht Rock Cocktails pairs fifty iconic yacht rock hits with delicious drinks so transportive, they might just trick you into thinking you’re on a boat with Kenny Logins or Steely Dan. Song and drink pairings include:
- “Sailing” by Christopher Cross + a double-rum Tradewinds
- “I Keep Forgettin” by Michael McDonald + a booze-forward Last Memory
- “This is It” by Kenny Logins + a simple Gin & It
- And many more!
With cocktail expert and yacht rock connoisseur Chris Vola at the helm and recipes that feature a mix of everyday and unique ingredients, you will be laughing into your shaker as you mix a “Gentleman's Daiquiri” while contemplating the deep, blue depths of the ocean…and Michael McDonald’s eyes. Each recipe is delivered with Chris’s trademark wit and includes delightful trivia any yacht rock afficionado will appreciate.
Featuring gorgeous, nostalgic photography, this stunning book will make you feel like you’re riding the waves, even if you’re docked at home. Whether a die-hard music or umbrella-drink fan, Yacht Rock Cocktails will soon have you mixing, sipping, and—to paraphrase noted yacht rock scholar Questlove—dancing while still sitting down.
