Cars & Cocktails is a new and original coffee table keepsake. In it, author Dean Champane reflects on Detroit history, Detroit automobiles and – perhaps most dramatically – high performance craft cocktails which have been created right here in the Motor City.

Such distinctive cocktail recipes as ‘Overdrive’, ‘Four on the Floor’, ‘High Voltage’ and ‘Finish Line’ are fine and fashionables flavors of today’s Motor City. They are introduced richly and invitingly via detailed recipe notes attended by full, four-color automotive art.  In addition, the author premiers tempting ‘Dry Way’ offerings: non-alcoholic recipes which honor and reward folks with mocktail preferences.

Cars & Cocktails weaves together a brief history of Detroit with the city’s unusual Prohibition-era affinity for liquor. It also introduces the Motor City’s fabled Woodward Avenue: “America’s first superhighway.” Running between Detroit and Pontiac, Woodward serves as the 27 mile concrete host of Detroit’s annual Dream Cruise, which attracts over 1.5 million automobile enthusiasts each year.

Want to join in the energy and the excitement which characterizes the Motor City today?  Cars & Cocktails will put you in the driver’s seat!
