This book was very fun to read. It was great seeing all the different "geeky" drink options. It also was very broad with how many fandoms it covered.

I've read a few geeky chef recipe books and this one did not disappoint. Perfect for any fans of GoT, Star Wars, superheroes etc and easy to follow and source recipes

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!

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!

Erstmal eine schöne Einführung, wie man sich Sirups selbst macht (zum backen, für Drinks etc), dann weiter über Effekte rund um die Drinks bis hin zu wahrlich phantastischen Rezepturen zu diversen TV Highlights. Das kommt bei jeder großen und kleinen Feier gut an. Eignet sich auch hervorragend als Geschenk.

This was such a fun book! I first noticed that the drinks were inspired by Zelda, a game I love, so I was game to read the book. While not all of the drinks were for me, many were and they were fun and easy to make. Some, however, had ingredients not easy to find where I live, but if I could find them, the recipes were easy to follow and use. The pictures were good, too. If you like shows like Game of Thrones, or games like Zelda, give this book a try. It is fun to read and the drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic alike) are fun to make and drink.

I have enjoyed the other Geeky Chef Cookbooks and this one did not disappoint. In this one the chef focuses on drinks inspired by games, movies and TV shows. The recipes are very imaginative and look as good as they taste. The instructions are easy to follow. I also liked that there are many virgin options so even no drinkers or children can join in the fun. This book makes a great companion to other cookbooks. Enjoy making these creative libations.

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.

From the author that brought us 'The Geeky Chef Cookbook' and 'The Geeky Chef Strikes Back', we now have 'The Geeky Chef Drinks'. This book is filled with with beverage recipes inspired by a variety of geeky sources. Ever wondered how to make Giggle Water from 'Fantastic Beasts'? Mudder's Milk from 'Firefly'? Moloko Plus from 'A Clockwork Orange'? The Geeky Chef, Cassandra Reeder, has come up with some very interesting concoctions from a very wide range of source materials. And while the majority of these beverages are alcoholic, the author gives non-alcoholic alternatives. While I don't always agree with the author's interpretation of these fictional drinks (creative differences), I can't wait to try out these drinks!

Thank netgally, the author for an Advanced Copy of this book. I really enjoyed this book. It's well worth reading

A great mix of drinks influenced by a wonderfully eclectic mix of television programs and films. This would make a fun party night addition.

If you are familiar with her previous "Geeky Chef" books, then you already know you are up for gorgeous pictures and recipes from the most popular fandoms. Her previous books had a mix of food and drinks, but this one focuses solely on alcoholic drinks. Most of the recipes offer an alternative non-alcoholic version to "virginize it" so no worries if some of your guests can't drink alcohol. Why guests? you may ask, well, these are the kind of recipes you want to share and show off, particularly to your geeky fam. Special attention is given to the appearance of each drink and for that there is a full chapter on "special effects". Some mixes look seriously out from a sci-fi movie. Imagine fire or dry ice mist coming out from your glass or a magical purple-pink drink served in a round flask.

The downside is that, unless you have a very well stocked alcohol cabinet, you probably wont have the ingredients needed and if you plan to try all or most of the recipes, by end of it you will have a nice alcohol collection. I was expecting recipes using the most popular stuff for the non -connoisseurs (plain beer, vodka, rum, tequila, etc) but many recipes have more specific ingredients like London dry gin, benedictine, cherry brandy, etc. If you find these ones as normal as tonic water, then you are all good and ready to enjoy these magical recipes!. *I read this book as an eARC*

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.

Thank you Quarto Publishing Group for a copy of The Geeky Chef Drinks for review.

The Geeky Chef Drinks is a cocktail book centred around pop culture references, I appreciated the wide variety of genres featured in the book including television shows and video games. This book would be perfect if you held viewing parties or like to plan something special.
I would say this was a special occasion cocktail book because some of the cocktail ingredients are specialty ingredients and not something you would likely have around on the average bar cart.
That being said, the drinks sound fun and are well connected to the themes. Definitely worth picking a cocktail for a special occasion and really have a fun time with the theme!

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!

A great book for geeky lovers of cocktails. The recipes are well thought out, and the presentation pictures are stunning. There's something for every fandom in here; I ended up sharing recipes with so many friends that were thrilled to see their favorites represented...and I can't wait to try a few of mine! Highly recommended!

I received a digital ARC from the publisher via Netgalley.

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.

I love this book! There are so many geeky drinks in this I want to try. I will be purchasing a copy for my personal collection.

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 other 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.

From simple syrups to comedic concoctions and everything else in between, the author's got it all. I was flabbergasted by the innovative ways Reeder introduced mind-boggling drinks. Even with some concoctions set afire, you'd be the toast of the town, perhaps literally.

The assorted drink colors accompanied by a myriad array of alluring glassware were all highly desirable. Comparable to food - we drink with our eyes. The recipes were thoughtfully preceded with imaginative short blurbs that connected the concoctions to movies, games and so much more. This well-written tutorial with tantalizing illustrations comes to you highly recommended.

I extend my gratitude to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Race Point Publishing for this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.
