Who would have guessed that behind the mild-mannered professor (well, mild mannered with a pointed, deadly wit) lay a bartender and mixologist of such formidable skills? I strongly recommend that after any encounter with a "learning outcomes committee,"reader number 2," or a student asking if they "missed anything important," you take Philipps book and put it to work for you, preferably repeatedly. You wont be sorry!"—Benjamin Hett - Hunter College and the Graduate Center"Its a fun read, and the "experimential learing" component of the book – you know, trying out the drinks – is a much-deserved recompense for those chairs that partake."—Chronicle of Higher Ed Excerpt from Book From Chapter 2: For the Faculty Member Are you about to assume a departmental service role?

Are you a department chair currently working on next semesters teaching schedule? These recipes are for you. The Professors Punch 2 oz brown rum 1 oz lime juice 1 oz fresh orange juice 1 oz tart cherry juice Splash of grenadine A dash or two of orange bitters Combine rum, lime juice, orange juice, tart cherry juice, grenadine, and orange bitters in a mixing glass with ice.
