Drink Recipes: TV-inspired cocktails


I mean, what is better than television?  NOTHING.  I don’t care if it makes me sound like a fat, couch-potato American.  I’m not ashamed.  
Well, there is one thing I can think of that's better than TV: finding reasons to drink that are related to TV… like the Emmy’s, new fall TV premieres, or Shark Week.  I think the Emmy’s being on tonight is a perfect reason to try some of these fabulous cocktail recipes.
