Editorial Reviews

"This book is certain to reunite more than a few Catholics and Shakers. A well-researched and entertaining work—only the humor and the martinis are dry."
—Philip Greene, cofounder of the Museum of the American Cocktail and author of To Have and Have Another: A Hemingway Cocktail Companion








"Drinking with the Saints becomes an occasion (if not an excuse) to slow one's pace, savor a drink, and slip not into inebriation but a relaxed look at the saints."
—Father Mitch Pacwa, S.J., host of EWTN Live
