Have you ever noticed certain cocktails are perfect for specific geeky pursuits? Whether it’s a special kind of ‘tini for tinkering or a hearty grog for saluting an awesome rocket launch, we (non-teetotaler) adults appreciate a cocktail that complements our hobbies. Here are some examples to sample over this long weekend as you pursue whatever it is that makes your geeky heart happy:
