Cassandra Reeder’s The Geeky Chef Drinks is a great collection of cocktail recipes which are inspired by popular sci-fi and fantasy worlds like Star Trek, Star Wars, and World of Warcraft. While many of the recipes are unique and feature helpful tips to make them non-alcoholic, some of the drinks have specialty ingredients that are difficult to get.
I really like that the book features recipes from diverse popular media like books (Harry Potter, The Lord of The Rings), TV series (Supernatural, Firefly), and games (World of Warcraft). There’s a helpful section on making homemade simple syrups. There’s also an interesting section on special effects to liven up your drinks. You can give your glasses candy rims, make your drinks beautifully shimmery, and there are even instructions for creating fire and mist effects.
The recipes are detailed and easy-to-follow. I cannot wait to try Reeder’s version of Butterbeer or the gorgeous Tatooine Sunset. However, some of the recipes feature ingredients that only dedicated mixologists may have. I enjoyed the brief descriptions at the beginning of each drink which helpfully tells me how the finished product should taste. I really like Reeder’s entertaining writing style which helps to make this book more interesting and memorable. I also like that many of the recipes feature tips to make them non-alcoholic.
The book includes lots of full-colour pictures of the finished drinks. These pictures are simple but effective, subtly showcasing items which reflect the media they are inspired by. But, some of the pictures are a bit generic and I couldn’t immediately tell where the drinks are from. I also wish that the book’s layout had been more exciting because I think the quirky recipes would have been nicely elevated by a more vibrant and fun design.
The Geeky Chef Drinks is a fun cocktail collection featuring recipes from a wide range of popular media. It would make a great gift for sci-fi and fantasy lovers or the dedicated mixologist in your life. I like this book and would definitely check out more of Cassandra Reeder’s themed cookbooks!

If your looking for a drinks book which is unique, I definitely recommend this one!

This is a fun little book for any sci-fi movie, video game or TV show lover or cocktail lover. I'm not really either, but I still enjoyed the creativity, especially in the special effects that Reeder teaches you how to do. She clearly put a lot of thought into these drinks and there's a huge range of shows and movies she pays homage to past the standard science fiction types, from Fallout to Bob's Burgers to Brooklyn Nine-Nine to The Nutty Professor and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, plus many more.
There are color photos of all the drinks, and they all sound fun and tasty.
I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

Let me start this review with this. I don’t drink. If it’s harder than Mountain Dew, it’s not for me. So why am I reviewing this book? I loved and reviewed, THE GEEKY CHEF COOKBOOK. Being a sci-fi geek from far back, I couldn’t not check out, THE GEEKY BARDTENDER DRINKS. And just like the cookbook, this was so much fun!
Author Cassandra Reeder knows her sci-fi, fantasy, and other fun genres. Between the TV shows, movies, books, and games the author mentions is chapters like Special Effects, Magical Elixirs, Sci-Fi Spirits, and Literary Libations, just to name a few, she covers a drink for every self-professed geek that likes to imbibe in cocktails and ale. She even has Nonalcoholic drinks for teetotalers like me!
To wet your geeky whistle, you’ll find drinks such as, The Elder Scrolls: White-Gold Tower, World of Warcraft: Moonglow, The Legend of Zelda: Chateau Romani, The Lord of the Rings: Miruvor, Battlestar Galactica: Ambrosia, Star Wars: Tatooine Sunset, Doctor Who: Sonic Screwdriver, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Black Frost Beer, Harry Potter: Butterbeer, Discworld: Scumble and Fluff, 1984: Victory Gin, Fallout: Dirty Wastelander, Archer: Peppermint Patty, The Simpsons: Flanders’ Planter Punch, Futurama: Slurm, Hook: Poe-Poe, and many, many more!
I had so much fun with THE GEEKY BARDTENDER DRINKS. Several of my favorite sci-fi showed are represented which made me smile. And with recipes for simple syrups, and instructions on things like rimming a glass, I can make even my soda and tea not only taste great, but look amazing. Think about what those of you who drink can do. The stellar full color photos for just about every drink mentioned, will give you an idea of how amazing they will look!
THE GEEKY BARTENDER DRINKS, for fans and non-fans of the genres mentioned, will love this book and make you a shooting star in your universe.

When I saw that these geeky recipe books extended to cocktails, I had to check it out. I’m a glass of wine or one fun cocktail kind of woman in addition to being a huge geek, so I thought this was right up my alley. What’s more fun than trying out some sci-fi and fantasy inspired drinks? Probably drinking them with one of Cassandra Reeder’s fantasy inspired foods!
This book features a nice variety of drinks with fun pictures and short descriptions on their inspirations. I love the tips given at the beginning of the book on making syrups yourself. Plus, the special effects are pretty neat. I’m particularly drawn in by the shimmer effect, which gives a really neat effect that’s perfect for fantasy and sci-fi inspired drinks.
While the recipes and instructions are pretty straight forward, expect to see brand names listed on and off. With drinks, there are some brands that have a flavor that make it hard to avoid recommending particular brands to get the desired flavors. However, I do think that the more experienced you become with making your own cocktails, the more you develop your own preferences and that may help when wanting to substitute brands and other items to make the drinks.
Of course, this book isn’t purely alcohol based. There is a chapter with non-alcoholic recipes in addition to the tips on taking some drinks and making them without the alcohol. For example, there is a tip on making a non-alcoholic version of Butterbeer.
All in all, I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to having fun making some of these drinks.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* I don't really drink mix drinks but OH this books makes me want to!!!! they sound so good! Even the recipes from games/stories/books I didn't know or have interest in sounded good but the ones I recognize!! This and the cookbook are def going on my to buy list!!
November 3, 2018
How was I unaware that there was a Geeky Chef aka Cassandra Reeder (see her site here) creating all kinds of fun foods and, in this case, drinks based on our favorite sci-fi and fantasy series and video games as well as a couple of animated series and Brooklyn Nine-Nine (?! is that a geek show?!)? Well that oversight on my part has been remedied when I had the opportunity to read and review The Geeky Chef Drinks.
In the same way that I like to try new and unusual foods (within reason), I am also one not to be deterred by adding a little basil or a jalapeno or a rosemary infusion to a cocktail. If it doesn't kill me and I have to spit it out (surreptitiously), well, at least I tried it, and who knows, it could even be my next favorite thing.
While I was scanning through the pages, many of the cocktail recipes sounded enticing, although for some the colors are a little off-putting yet I can definitely see how they could fit into viewing parties. Need recipes for viewing upcoming shows? How about mulled wine for Game of Thrones or purple nurple for Supernatural or a sonic screwdriver and emergency protocol 417 for Doctor Who? You're covered.
And, if you're feeling nostalgic and perhaps still bitter over the cancellation of Firefly, you can indulge in a mudder's milk, which looks like a protein smoothie with an irish cream/bourbon kick.
Some of the cocktails sound very warming and appropriate for any upcoming holiday parties with the added benefit of being real conversation starters.
The author adds amusing notes about the cocktails, safety warnings if you're the type who likes to set your drink on fire (because why not? Just don't try to drink it while it's burning) and ideas for the shape of ice cubes to use. The photography is excellent, showing some of the colorful concoctions in all of their bright, sometimes radioactive, glory.
Who would like this book? If you're a fan of sci-fi, cult films (The Big Lebowski, for instance), dystopian novels like 1984, and video games like Legend of Zelda and you don't mind imbibing a cocktail, this book is for you. I think you might enjoy incorporating the cocktails in viewing parties or book club meetings, such fun! If you hate anything geeky, give it a pass. If you don't like anything more than three elements to your cocktail, give it a pass. However, if you aren't a cocktail drinker and would give it a pass because of that, in many instances, the author provides a virgin recipe.

Every year I plan two girlfriend gatherings at my house. The first in June has a welcome back summer theme and the second in November revolves around spending some quality time together before the holiday madness begins. I read a great book, Drink Me in the spring and planned my get together around its Alice in Wonderland themed cocktails. I wanted to come up with a different idea for my fall party, and The Geeky Chef Drinks provided me with so many great ideas.
We all want what we eat and drink to taste delicious, but our visual perceptions are important too. Who wouldn't enjoy being served a drink like the Noble Pursuit, inspired by The Legend of Zelda(which can be made with rum and gin or there is a non-alcoholic version). This drink has a Mist Effect made with dry ice and it looked and tasted so good! My other favorite was the Moloko Plus(vanilla vodka, white rum, and a flaming citrus peel). I am adding two more, the Sulfuron Slammer inspired by World of Warcraft, and the Atomic Cocktail and I now have my Fire and Ice cocktail theme nailed!
These are the type of cocktails I would order at a bar or restaurant just for the visual effects. The four I named only scratch the surface as there are so many other choices. There are sections of cocktail recipes in Otherworldly Intoxicants, Magical Elixirs, Sci-Fi Spirits, Culty Cocktails, Literary Cocktails, Dystopian Potions, and Comedic Concoctions(hello Flanders' Flaming Punch inspired by the Simpsons, you are next on my list). I plan to work my way through many more of these cocktails as winter approaches and my partner and I like to spend Friday night in front of the fire with an adult beverage. Beautiful photos and easy to follow recipes combine to make a fun book that I can refer to again and again.
The author has also written The Geeky Chef Cookbook and I am excited to get a copy so I can combine some 'Geeky' food and cocktails. I may never offer anyone a glass or red or white again! 5 shiny stars.

I was unfamiliar with this author, her blog, and her other titles before reading this book but I am definitely going to take a look now. This is a paradise for the geeky imbiber! She covers a wide array of Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Parody including Zelda, Lord of the Rings, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Star Wars, Star Trek, and Mass Effect. The layout in inviting, and the pictures are gorgeous! The recipes overall seemed to be uncomplicated and included suggestions for virgin versions as well as encouragement to tweak proportions to your own taste. There is even a recipe for a non-disgusting grenadine! Most of the drinks come with a little bit of a backstory and where the author took inspiration when formulating the mixed drink. And let it be known now that, yes, Butterbeer IS one of the included drinks. This book will be making an appearance at several upcoming parties and will be a no-brainer stocking stuffer for several family members.

I've said previously that I am the President of the Geeky Chef fanclub, and all demands that Cassandra Reeder cook for us start behind me. But now? Now we get to drink mightily in our quest to be the biggest geeks of all time. Who can ask for more?
Seriously, though, where does she go from here? Is the next step all desserts? All geeky breakfasts? New fandoms come out every day, I'd love to see some superhero related recipes. I mean, imagine what you could do with Deadpool.
The majority of these drink recipes are from video games, which are not my jam. However, the others are still incredible. From Firefly (my love) to Harry Potter and all the way to Doctor Who, almost every fandom in the world can find something here to be appreciated. There are even drinks from decidedly non-geeky fandoms, such as the movie Cocktail. The Big Lebowski. Blues Brothers. I'm incredibly impressed with the variety here.
And for those people who like their livers more than I do, she includes nonalcoholic tips and tricks, so that those who don't imbibe can enjoy a mug of Black Frost (Non Alcoholic) Beer. Bonus: You probably won't be turned into a caveman/woman after drinking it, unlike the rest of us heathens.

This is a hard book to review, since I got it from the library and therefore only had it a couple of weeks.
I enjoyed the idea of this book more than the actual execution- the few drinks I made were good, not great. A couple of the drinks that I was most interested in are more winter drinks, not summer, so I didn't make them. If I remember, I'll try to get this book again when the weather cools off and see if that changes my opinion.
I did enjoy flipping through the book and seeing what was included and what wasn't. It made me feel nostalgic.
Three stars.

This book is exactly what it says it is: a collection of geek inspired adult beverages. Inspirations came from LORD OF THE RINGS, video games, "Firefly" , HARRY POTTER, etc. A great book if you, like I, like to do themed geek out sessions (costume parties, binge watching marathons).

Cassandra Reeder has put together a very geeky cocktail book. I'd love to try all of them, but especially the Harry Potter inspired Firewhisky and Star Trek's Bloodwine.
December 4, 2018
This is a very quirky and amusing little cocktail book. As the name suggests, it is created by the Geeky Chef, and all the drinks herein are either inspired by or come straight out of various video games, sci-fi films, books and comedies.
Some of these drinks do actually sound really nice, and there is a good section at the beginning full of pointers and instructions on garnishes and a few basic techniques. Overall this isn't a book for mixing experts, and anyone can easily have a bash at making these.
I think I enjoyed this book mostly for the descriptions of where the ideas came from. The writing is funny and entertaining, and if you have played the game/seen the film/got the T-shirt, you'll get a kick out of these drink ideas.
My personal favourites are the Beer Milkshake from Red Dwarf and the Legend of Zelda inspired cocktails because this is my absolute favourite video game series ever. EVER. Yes, I am a geek, so this book was perfect for me because I also love cocktails.
This book is really fun, and I recommend it to anyone with a sense of humour and a cocktail shaker.

I have to admit I love to try and recreate food or drinks from my favorite books, shows, or movies. I have tried pretty much every Harry Potter recipe out there so I was excited to give this one a whirl.
This is a fun book with some different drinks for lots of different shows (I really enjoyed the GOT drinks bc I am a big fan of that show) While I will admit I was not a fan of all the beverages and found a couple of items challenging to find, overall I really enjoyed getting to experience these drinks.

Right, I loved the geeky chef book and hoped I'd feel the same about the geeky bartender. Although, once again, the ideas behind the drinks are absolutely brilliant, I found they were a lot less practical than I'd hoped. A lot contained bizarre ingredients I've never seen available in shops. So although it's a 5* for absolute originality, unfortunately I don't think I'll actually be trying any of these recipes.

The Geeky Chef Drinks is such a fun cook book! I have previously read one of Reeder’s other recipe books and fell in love with her style. I am all for celebrating geekdom by surprising people with food representations of our favourite fandoms. It’s even better that I can now pair these food recipes with fancy cocktails!
The Geeky Chef Drinks is broken up into seven main fandom categories which feature unique cocktail recipes. The sections are:
*Otherworldly Intoxicants
*Magical Elixirs
*Sci-Fi Spritis
*Culty Cocktails
*Literary Libations
*Dystopian Potions and
*Comedic Concoctions.
Inside each of these sections are a variety of recipes which range from ‘Mudders Milk’ from Firefly, to ‘Emergency Protocol 417’ from Doctor Who (once again reaffirming my love of Captain Jack Harkness) and the ever iconic ‘Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster’ from The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Also getting a shout out are ‘6 Gummy Bears and Some Scotch’ from Archer (which I will be making), ‘Firewhiskey’ from Harry Potter, and the classic ‘White Russian’ from The Big Lebowski.
I absolutely loved seeing some of these cocktails! I have previously made the Mass Effect 2 Serrice Ice Brandy cocktail from Reeder’s previous book The Geeky Chef Cookbook, and loved that. It was even better seeing the Ryncol Cocktail from the same game featured as well! If I wasn’t so afraid of being put into a coma I would try that drink 😛
The Geeky Chef Drinks is a very unique, geeky, and fun cookbook. Most cocktails feature pictures of the drinks and I must say, they all look fabulous! I cannot wait to (responsibly, of course) drink as many of these that I can.
The cookbook itself
Ease of Use: The recipes are easy to follow and simple. The measurements are given in both imperial and metric, so it was really easy making these drinks as I didn’t have to convert anything on my phone.
Formatting:
Recipes: The recipes are set out in an easy to read manner and feature a little blurb about each drink and it’s respective popular culture fandom. Every recipe that I tried and had an in-depth look at, was incredibly simple and easy to use.
The ingredients are listed in order of usage and the following instructions are very clear and concise on what is needed to be done.
Some of the recipes also include a ‘suggested serving vessel’ and suggested garnish’ feature. When these are included in the recipe it is usually in regards to how the drink is served in the fandom but also in the corresponding picture.
Book: After the introduction, the book includes a ‘Simple Syrups’ and ‘Special Effects’ section. In these two small parts of the book, reoccurring and simple recipes are provided so that they can be referred back to when needed. After this the individual recipes are listed and featured in seven categories. With a small acknowledgements page ending the book.
Recommendations: I would really recommend this to anyone who wants to impress others with their geekiness. As I was reading the book and making my first recipe from it, all I could think of was how fun it would be to make these for a bunch of my friends.
If you’re someone who loves fandoms, all these geeky, and likes to entertain – then this book is for you!
Please note, I received a copy of The Geeky Chef Drinks from NetGalley.
The Geeky Chef Drinks is such a fun cook book! I have previously read one of Reeder’s other recipe books and fell in love with her style. I am all for celebrating geekdom by surprising people with food representations of our favourite fandoms. It’s even better that I can now pair these food recipes with fancy cocktails!
The Geeky Chef Drinks is broken up into seven main fandom categories which feature unique cocktail recipes. The sections are:
*Otherworldly Intoxicants
*Magical Elixirs
*Sci-Fi Spritis
*Culty Cocktails
*Literary Libations
*Dystopian Potions and
*Comedic Concoctions.
Inside each of these sections are a variety of recipes which range from ‘Mudders Milk’ from Firefly, to ‘Emergency Protocol 417’ from Doctor Who (once again reaffirming my love of Captain Jack Harkness) and the ever iconic ‘Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster’ from The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

Race Point Publishing and NetGalley provided me with an electronic copy of The Geeky Chef Drinks. I was under no obligation to review this cookbook and my opinion is freely given.
This cookbook pays homage to the science fiction and fantasy realm through cocktails, ones that would fit perfectly into the environments from which they are derived. The author takes the time to give readers recipes for different simple syrups and explains certain special effects that will make the finished cocktails stand out. With sections such as Otherworldly Intoxicants, Magical Elixirs, Sci-Fi Spirits, Culty Cocktails, Literary Libations, Dystopian Potions, and Comedic Concoctions, readers will be able to make drinks to fit into any themed party.
I really appreciated the tip boxes scattered throughout the book, as the author gives really good information on topics from sterilizing your simple syrup to making cocktails without the alcohol component. Many of the cocktails in The Geeky Chef Drinks are designed to be representations of drinks that are described in certain video games, books, movies, and television shows. The creativity level of this book is off the charts and it would be a great gift for fans of science fiction and fantasy. The photographs of the finished beverages jump off the pages and I liked the creativity that the author displays with the use of unusual drinking vessels. I also enjoyed the explanations that the author gives by way of inspiration for the drinks.
The cocktails that I am most interested in trying are Romulan Ale, composed of white rum, blue curaçao, lemon juice, and ginger beer, which would fit in perfectly on any Star Trek vessel.
Additionally, I would very much like to try Butterbeer, a mildly alcoholic, sweet and spicy concoction that represents the drink which exists in Harry Potter's realm. Author Cassandra Reeder has definitely done her homework, as the cocktails most certainly fit into the many worlds for which they represent. I enjoyed reading this cookbook and I would recommend The Geeky Chef Drinks to readers who are fans of science fiction and fantasy.

After I read through The Geeky Chef Cookbook, I decided to read through the recipes for this cocktail book. Like with the cookbook, the cocktails are based on video games, books, shows, and movies, which I love. There are some recipes with the same name in The Geeky Chef Cookbook, but I am delighted that they are not the same. For example, the Red Potion and Blood recipes are alcoholic in this book, but they are non-alcoholic in The Geeky Chef Cookbook. Furthermore, the Moloko Plus, Spice Beer, Ambrosia, Mudder’s Milk recipes among others are completely different recipes in this book. I will say this cocktail recipe book is an improvement from The Geeky Chef Cookbook as all the drinks have a picture and you do not have to guess what it is supposed to look like, and none of the drinks rely on food dye for the coloring. Also, 12 of the recipes include tips on how to make them non-alcoholic, which I think is nice.
However, like with The Geeky Chef Cookbook, the drinks are not practical. Many of the drinks require multiple alcohols, liqueurs, and bitters and some are difficult to find. If you already do not have the drinks, I do not expect someone to go out and purchase 3-4 different alcohols, liqueurs, and bitters. Also, if you were to go out and buy mead or moonshine, for example, there are only 2 recipes that use it. Even for more common alcohols like gin, rum, vodka, and whiskey, many recipes require a specific type or flavors like vanilla vodka or apple whiskey that are only used for 1 recipe. For other recipes, you are lucky if you can use the same alcohol or liqueur in 2-4 of the recipes. I could see these cocktail recipes being used for parties and theme nights, but they are not practical if you do not have a large selection of alcohols, liqueurs, and bitters in your home.
Overall, The Geeky Chef Drinks is a fun cocktail recipe book, but the drinks are not practical to make unless you are having a geeky party or you have a large selection of alcohol at home.

I love to cook. It's not just something I have to do because the kids demand to be fed, it's something I do because I enjoy it. There's nothing more satisfying - for me - than creating a meal that not only fills the bellies of those that I love, but also makes them happy. Food is love, right?
Well, man can't live on carrots and roast beef alone. Sometimes you want to be an adult. Other times, you need to be a geeky adult.
Which is where this cookbook comes into play.
The Geeky Chef Drinks takes a culinary tour of all the potions and elixirs our sci-fi and fantasy favorites have to offer. Giving us things like Firewhisky from Harry Potter, Bloodwine from Star Trek, and the Atomic Cocktail from Fallout. My personal favorite, however, and the one I squealed to see was the infamous Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster from Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series.
This cookbook is an extensive and versatile reference for all drinks geeky and fun. In addition to hitting all of our favorite movies, shows, books and video games, it also teaches you some basics about mixology and how to liven up your presentation. Who wouldn't want to give thier drink a magical shimmer?
For the most part, you can use whatever brand alcohol you like, but on occasion the author does suggest a particular brand and always gives her reasonings why you should use it instead of something else. As added bonus for me, with two teenagers in the house, there are suggestions on how to make many of these drinks without alcohol. So, if you don't want to imbibe that night or want to share the fun with your kids, you can do so without guilt. Or law breaking.
I cannot believe I've missed this series of cookbooks. If the others are half as informative, creative, and entertaining as The Geeky Chef Drinks has been, then they're sure to be winners. I know what I'm putting on my Christmas list this year.
*thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of the book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This book is super fun, especially if you (like the Geeky Chef!) are an uber geek. I particularly liked how many different fandoms are represented here- whatever your flavor (ha) there is something for you.
More importantly, the drinks look, and are, delicious. I'm still not quite ready to put dry ice into anything that is going in my mouth, but I loved her ideas on how to make the drinks look as cool as the contents. And since we have a pretty well stocked bar, I can make some health potions, some Butterbeer (yes!) or Mudder's Milk from Firefly. The photos are really elegant and clear, and make all of these concoctions look gorgeous. I also appreciated her suggestions on how to make just about everything non-alcoholic, for our budding geek child and for anyone who would like to enjoy some fandom based concoctions without a headache the next day.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this beautiful and delicious ARC!

I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. When I saw this I just had to read it. The geeky girl in me was screaming in delight. There are nine chapters that will get you ready to make some of the drink from some of the most iconic fandoms out there. There are some from Harry Potter, Zelda, Supernatural and Doctor Who to just name a few. The recipes are fairly easy to make and the steps are all listed clearly. I love the pictures and the little details or background on the page with each drink. There is a section at the beginning of the book that will let you know anything that you will need to make any of the drinks in the book. I think this is the ideal gift for any geek out there. They would appreciate it in the best of ways.

Thank you to Cassandra Reeder, Quarto Publishing Group, Quarto Publishing Group - Race Point Publishing, and NetGalley for allowing me the extreme pleasure of access to an advanced reader copy of “The Geeky Chef Drinks: Unofficial Cocktail Recipes from Game of Thrones, Legend of Zelda, Star Trek, and More” for an honest review.
A true blue, chic geek since pretty much being born and someone who loves to keep their finger on the pulse of what is hot in a lot of different geeky genres, I knew I had to jump at this book when it came up in Quarto. It had books for any number of my favorite fandoms and the photos with them, or photos from where you could find them in their individual fandoms only added to the delight of getting to bring these drinks into your own home and life.
Bravi!

There's drinks here inspired by *takes a deep breath* Elder Scrolls, Legend of Zelda, World of Warcraft, Harry Potter, Final Fantasy, Lord of the Rings, Mass Effect, Battlestar Galactica, Dune, Star Trek, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Doctor Who, The Big Lebowski, Twin Peaks, Supernatural, James Bond (not the one you'd think), Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Wheel Of Time, ASOIAF / Game of Thrones, Discworld, 1984, A Clockwork Orange, Fallout, Archer, Bob's Burgers, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Simpsons and more! I'm sure there's something in here for everyone. It's perfect for me and my husband!

So many alcoholic beverages, I was expecting at least a couple nonalcoholic ones but rereading the cover and that this is a book of cocktails I still feel a little let down. I can be geeky. I like drinks. Just can’t stand alcohol. Everything in this book looked delicious and kinda made me wish I drank alcohol so I could try them but I guess I’ll have to settle for gorgeous drinks. If you do drink alcohol, I suggest you read this immediately. Looks awesome! I did save a few of the simple syrups from the front so it wasn’t a complete bust for me and as I said before, the pictures looked utterly lickable!

I was sent a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
This was amazing! I have to admit that at first I did not expect much from it, but after establishing the basics, we got into the crazy cocktail world inspired by geeky shows, books or games! My favourite part is that all these cocktails, as crazy as they sound, are so easy to make and they all use simple ingredients, which I really appreciate because I love simple cocktails!
I was impressed. Great pictures, great combinations, and I loved that it offered virgin alternatives!

Received via Netgalley in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.
Somehow I had never heard of The Geeky Chef before I spotted this book on Netgalley...I had no idea what I was missing!
This book of cocktail recipes is inspired by a variety of geeky books, movies, tv series, and video games. Some of my favorites include The Sonic Screwdriver (Doctor Who), Giggle Water (Fantastic Beasts), Butterbeer (Harry Potter), and Romulan Ale (Star Trek). Some of the drinks also include tips on making non-alcoholic versions, which is nice for those underaged geeks or teetotaling geeks.

First, I love that this recipe book starts out with syrups, add ins, and how to rim the glass (among other effects you can have on your drinks). All the recipes are geeky in nature, mostly based on video games and tv. My fav ones to try are Miruvor (Lord of the Rings), Bloodwine (Star Trek), Tatooine Sunset (Star Wars) and of course the Sonic Screwdriver (because YES). While some of the recipes call for some strange liqueur I am not sure where to get, most of these recipes seem accessible! Perfect for your next party.
