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).

This was a really creative and fun book for geeks of all kinds. It includes helpful hints for those who don't usually make their own drinks and lack any bar-tending skills, There are recipes for syrup to mix, as well as tips on garnishing drinks and making the rims look amazing. For parties, or geeky kids, some of the drinks have virgin alternatives. The drinks look amazing and true to their inspiration, and while I may not have the skill or patience to make all of them, I'd like to order a lot of them. There's even a butterbeer recipe which are always popular at parties and events. Definitely check this out for fun Halloween or party drink ideas.

I liked looking through this cool book about drinks inspired by movies, TV Shows and games. Also, it was cool to have a few pages about those bartender tricks which can make your drink look extra special and I liked the photos next to each recipe. Of course drinks always tend to have lots of ingredients which you don't really have at home but still the recipes sounded cool and I'll definitely try out some.

Such a brilliant book of every geeky cocktail you could think of. They’ve even included the legendary Hitchiker’s one. Not only does the book contain the cocktails, it explains how to make the syrups and other basics required to be the Tom Cruise of the party.
Perfect for any geek this Christmas.

Cute, quirky, geeky and engaging recipe book for cocktails and other mixed drinks from the world of film, video game, books and television. Fun book with mostly straightforward mixes, and the occasional ten-or-more ingredient concoctions like the Firefly-inspired Mudders Milk and Butterbeer from the Harry Potterverse.

Fancy serving suggestions are included, to really make your fantasy drink sparkle. Great idea and most of the drinks look delicious!

I loved this book. When i saw this book and read the synopsis i had to look at it. I think it is a really amazing theme. I really enjoyed it. I really like to try some of the drinks though.

So much fun made this geeks heart happy, Cocktails odes tomsome of my favorite tv shows characters.Put a smilevon my face can’t wait to drink the drinks share with my group of geek besties.This book will make a great gift, #betgalley #quartobooks

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.

The book concept is a cute idea and is well done. I'm not interested in making any of the recipes, however. They're either too weird/gross sounding or have ingredients that would be too hard to come by.

What a fun book of cocktails. It definitely brought out the geek in me. So many of the drinks I want to try just because I love the book or show that the drink is based on. This would make a great gift for your geeky friends too.

I love this book. It’s whimsical and magical and would be great for a party to make your cocktails more exciting. I especially love the tips on how to decorate your glasses and drinks and how to create dry ice etc. This book is so much fun and I love the link ins with the tv shows. I can’t wait to throw a party now.

I am always excited to see a Geeky Chef cookbook! So I immediately requested The Geeky Chef Drinks. This book contains adult cocktails (and some virgin recipes) to make drinks feature of inspired from your favorite fandom. of course, there are the typical nerdy fandoms one might imagine: including Star Wars and Final Fantasy. The book branches further into fandom including the It's Always Sunny in Philadephia Fight Milk and Archer's favorite drinks.
The book details the tools you need as well as how-tos on basic simple syrups. Each drink is featured in full color in its nerdy glory. The instructions are easy to follow making this a great book to plan my next party!

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.

Liked this book a lot. The instructions are straight forward to follow even for a beginner, and it has a lot of pictures that, while are lovely to look at, aren't so overly artistic that they are discouraging to even attempt. The recipes cover a number of fandoms, subgenres and general themes and are perfect for hosting a movie marathon, games night, or very informal book group.

I do think, however, the jewel in the crown of Reeder's collection is the section on special effects, which is very helpful if you've ever wondered how to make flaming drinks or work with dry ice.

Recommended.

I absolutely love this! I love the ideas and photos of drinks from my favorite shows and movies and video games, and they all look delicious. I am not sure the cover is as appealing as it could be, and may have stopped me from opening the book altogether if I saw it at a retailer.
