Book Review ‘Drinking with Your Patron Saints’

As the coronavirus outbreak forces many of us to spend most of our time indoors and much of our time worrying, author Michael P. Foley has a new book to bring a little cheer to our homes. Drinking with Your Patron Saints: The Sinner’s Guide to Honoring Namesakes and Protectors is his latest book on the topic of cocktail-making with a Catholic twist.

Foley, a theology professor at Baylor University, has written several books about Christianity, but his first offering related to religiously inspired cocktails was Drinking with the Saints: The Sinner’s Guide to a Holy Happy Hour, which instructed readers in “the appropriate libations for the seasons, feasts, and saints’ days of the Church year.” Following the success of that book, Foley wrote Drinking with Saint Nick: Christmas Cocktails for Sinners and Saints.
