Drinking with the Saints (Deluxe): The Sinner's Guide to a Holy Happy Hour Hardcover – Special Edition, March 15, 2022

I absolutely love this book! It all starts with the beautiful binding and print quality. The paper is heavy, and the whole book is very aesthetically pleasing. Beyond its physical quality, it is also a fascinating and fun way to approach your home bar. The descriptions of each saint/feast day are informative, but also readable and funny! I have found myself just reading it for fun because it's so interesting. Michael Foley clearly did his research, but every description also reflects the humorous mindset with which this book was created. I love learning some of the saints' stories, and also the clever ways he connects them with the recommended beverages. I bought it as a gift for my mom, and we have both enjoyed the cocktails as well as the book itself. A total winner!In case anyone is wondering, there isn't a drink for EVERY day of the liturgical year, but most or many.

This book is so much more than I anticipated. Drinking with the Saints is keepsake for those who love delicious cocktails, the Church and life in general! It's beautifully illustrated, witty, reverent, easy to reference, and a full education in the saints all in one impressive book. We've already tried the Brittany and the Merry Widow and not only were the stories interesting but the cocktails were definitely top of the line. The cocktails...we take these things seriously around here! There are plenty of original drinks, combined with traditional classics, which any home bartender can master and enjoy - and impress his friends. One of my favorite parts? The toasts! So go ahead, invite some friends over for an upcoming feast day, test out the drink and start a Drinking with the Saints cocktail club. Well, done, Michael Foley. We're looking forward to the app and more drinks!

Great book!! Pretty on table

When I am unsure what to drink for the night, I always consult the book. There’s a different drink (and Saint) for every day. Some have mixed drinks and beers and wines.

"Drinking with the Saints" is a treasure of a book. It is filled with highly readable, often funny, stories of our saints. The recipes are almost too inviting!!. The book, itself, is a thing of beauty. Wonderful illustrations. Organized by day and month. Striking layout. Even the book's paper is high quality. Don't buy one, because you'll want to give this book away. Perfect for college graduation, for birthdays and anniversaries. And what better gift for Father's Day to help dad out of his Scotch and water rut.

If I don't become a Saint I at least can drink with them ! This book makes me glad to be Catholic and wannabe saint. Every bartender must have this book . Cliff Claven must be the authors brother in law !I have a new appreciation for saints and discovered faith in action by real people doing some real good living . The book would make a great gift for anyone who appreciates the joyfulness of saints and the celebration of life with a unique collection of libations, Pick your favorite saint and a perfect drink makes a perfect excuse for a toast.I think I will have a Big Bad Wolf to toast Saint Francis .I'm one sinner who enjoyed discovering real saints and will remember them fondly with drink in hand

BLUF: Get your atheist friends to listen to stories about the Bible, get your religious friends to drink with your atheist friends, make fun of your agnostic friends with your atheist/religious friends, make great memories [and mistakes].I don't have anything to say about this other than that everyone I've gifted this to has loved it, religious or not. The presentation is great and sits well on a kitchen shelf or wherever else you keep books in your home and hardly looks out of place next to my hardcover copy of "Lives of the Saints".

I gave this book to my husband for his birthday and he loves it. Good drink recipes, reflections and humor.
