Thank you NetGalley and Adams Media/Simon & Schuster Inc. for a copy of "The Unofficial Disney Parks Drink Recipe Book: From LeFou's Brew to the Jedi Mind Trick, 100+ Magical Disney-Inspired Drinks" in exchange for my honest review.

This book is a wonderful "taste" of the Disney magic you can recreate at home. There are recipes from all the parks. There are brilliant photographs in the book to illustrate most of the drinks. There are guides as to what you need to have on hand at home, substitutions if you can't find a particular item where you live.

There is a lot of background given to each drink and you can learn a lot about the history of the parks through this. There are interesting Disney facts, maps of the Parks/Resorts & Hotels to locate where each drink is available in the park. There is also a US/Metric Conversion chart.

I love cookbooks and this one was a real treat. I will definitely be making some of these drinks and now I really want to go to a Disney park.

Exciting way to recreate your favourite drinks from Disney Resorts, or to try new ones. Perfect for this year when travel might not be an option for your whole family. I’m excited to try a few of the hot drink recipes as the weather gets colder. I think that some of the ingredients for the drinks might be harder to find for readers outside of the US.

I was very pleased with this cookbook. This book has a lot of appeal and it is a great choice for the cookbook collector, the Disney fan and the person that just simply likes to have fun and shake things up in the kitchen. There are an array of intriguing recipes included and although there is not a photo for every recipe, what photos are included are beautifully done. The downside here is the ingredients. A lot of the ingredients are not going to be found in your kitchen and some will require putting the effort forth to find them. Still, as a whole I liked it and with a bit of planning ahead I think it offers a great way to add somethings special to your parties, events or even just a kitchen adventure with the kids.

The book has lots and lots of drinks, dessert drinks, mocktails, cocktails, slushies and more. Most recipes seem simple enough. A few of the recipes have some items that may be a bit harder to get your hands on. One thing I really liked was the bit of history at the beginning of this book. That was a sweet touch. I found the book to be designed well and the pictures clear and appetizing; although I would have liked more pictures of the drinks. If you can't make it to the Disney Parks, this might be the book for you!

As an avid Disney fan I loved these recipes! This book brings the parks into your home when you can't be in the most magical place. There is a recipe for everyone in this book no matter the flavors you like.

This recipe book is SO MUCH FUN! Recipes are easy to follow, and the photography is vibrant and makes the recipes all the more tempting to try. I’ll definitely be buying myself a personal copy!

I don’t know about you, but I have been craving Disney for the last year and a half. This recipe book was a perfect compromise for not breaking the budget and allowing me to get a little taste of the Disney Parks that I so miss.

Initially, I thought it was pretty pricey to get all the ingredients to make these yummy drinks. But then, I figured these ingredients were a small amount in comparison of what I would spend in the parks.

The layout is super helpful where there is a master list of ingredients and supplies you would need to make the various drinks towards the beginning.

You will have to plan out your drink schedule so you don’t waste any of the special syrups and mixer ingredients to add to your drinks.

I do wish that each drink had an accompanying picture just because I had to Google what some of them should look like at the end.

There’s such a variety of drinks here that you’ll have plenty to choose from.

My favs:
Lava Smoothie and the Dole Whip Float. Yum!!

Thank you for this book! It was perfect to satisfy my Disney craving.

This book is a solid source of recipes for virgin and adult specialty beverages that are offered at Disney Parks and Resorts. There is an introduction about the history of beverages in the parks (I never knew about the grape juice!) and even a section about rest rooms which are inevitably necessary after enjoying beverages!

The book lists basic equipment needed to make the drinks, and has some colorful photos, though more photos would have been welcome. These recipes could be used for a Disney themed party at home, or for any festive occasion.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine.

This was a fun cookbook for any Disney fan. As a past pass holder, I was craving some of these drinks, especially those from Galaxy's Edge. I loved having the chance to drink these again without having to brave the crowds. The recipes are easy to follow and easy to change if, for instance, you want to make your cocktail into a mocktail. I can't wait to make some of these drinks for the family this holiday season.

Great book. I really enjoyed the storyline and the cover! I can’t wait to read more from this author.

I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. Drinks inspired by Disney that are both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The book was broken in to different types of drinks. There is also a section on essentials that shows how to make things for the drinks like syrups. The first section is Lemonades/Fruit Drinks. Such as Blood Orange Acqua Fresca or Cotton Candy Lemonade. Slushies is the next section. The one that caught my eye in this section was Wonderland Slush. Tea/Coffee/ Hot Chocolate/Cinders is the next section. There is a drink called a Cinderella Latte. Mocktails are next. Some examples of this one is Cliff Dweller or Poisonless Dart. Cocktails is the next section. Examples are Hightower Rocks or Jedi Mind Trick. The last second is Dessert Drinks. The drinks in this section are things like Peter Pan Floats, Bam Bam Shake, and Minnie Witch Shake. There is also information about the parks with maps and information about the resorts. There is also like Did You Know- Fun Facts that are included.

This is a fun book! It starts with an overview/history of drinks at the Walt Disney parks, which was interesting to read. It also includes a guide to essential equipment and syrups for the drinks. There are plenty of fun drinks included in this book with a little description of each. The illustrations and images added a much needed visual component to the book and helped break up the text. There are a variety of recipes, however, some require ingredients that are hard to find.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me an eARC in exchange for an honest review!

Disney parks drinks come home! This fun recipe book brings the magic of Disney drinks right into your own kitchen and cocktail party! Packed with amazing ingredients and cool park history, this unofficial but extensive collection of drink recipes gives you all the flavors you crave whether you’ve tasted them at the parks, or just dreamed about them when travel is limited. Whether you’ve experienced these flavors in person or not, you’ll get a kick out of the cool concoctions and unique flavor combinations!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my free copy. These opinions are my own.

OK, this is a case of bad timing. One week after visiting Disneyland in Anaheim, I started reading “The Unofficial Disney Parks Drink Recipe Book” by Ashley Craft. Had I only started this a couple of weeks earlier, some of our plans and meals would have been much different (I would have definitely visited the Disneyland Hotel, for one!).

Having enjoyed Ms. Craft’s previous cookbook, “The Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbook”, I knew what to expect and how to approach the book (hence the similar review). Ms. Craft presents a bit of history of drinks at the parks (interesting on how alcohol was treated), but then gets into the good stuff – how to replicate some of the special drinks at home.

The recipes range from the overly simple to the somewhat complex to the crazy complex. The main complaint is probably the wide variety of ingredients that are either difficult to find/make, or that are so specialized that you would probably never use them up. Heavy emphasis is on flavored syrups.

And having just experienced Oga’s Cantina at Disneyland for the first time, I am super excited that I can make the drinks we enjoyed (especially the Fuzzy Tauntaun) and our daughter can reuse her souvenir Porg mug!

I requested and received a free advanced electronic copy from Adams Media via NetGalley. Thank you!

There are a few "Unofficial Disney Parks Recipe" books, and I love them! This drinks recipe book is amazing. Me and my family have definitely used it a couple of times already. It's also great to use these recipes to impress your guests at a party! Highly recommend!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and the author, for providing me with an eARC in return for an honest review.

Of the many iconic things about Disney Parks, drinks and cocktails are some of my favorite things to explore. To me, there is nothing better than relaxing in a themed Disney space with a drink (Trader Sam's to be specific) after a long day at the Parks. So imagine my delight in being able to review The Unofficial Disney Parks Drink Recipe Book, releasing October 2021 from Adams Media!

Disney Parks Drink Recipe Book starts off with a bit of history of alcohol in the Disney Parks. In an effort to keep out the "rowdy element," Walt Disney didn't allow Disneyland to sell alcohol. For sixty-four years this rule was in place until Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge opened. Oga's Cantina is the one place that sells alcohol in Disneyland (other than Club 33.)

The book also gives a quick summary of some of the items you will need access to in order to craft the many drinks in the cookbook. Items like a blender, cocktail shaker, candy molds and various syrups. The syrup section has the recipes to create agave, black raspberry, hibiscus, ginger, mint syrups including a basic simple syrup recipe.

The Unofficial Disney Parks Drink Recipe Book has a good mix of cocktails, juice recipes, slushies, shakes (including those from Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes), smoothies and includes fun tidbits like how Epcot's Jungle Juice is a basic POG (passion fruit, orange and guava) concoction. I was happy to see the recipe for the Uh Oa! and the description of how much it is an experience in addition to being a drink!

Photos can make or break a cookbook and the photos from The Unofficial Disney Parks Drink Recipe Book are gorgeous! There are several ideas on how to dress drinks up with Disney flare and there is a wide range of cups and mugs shown for styling options.

The Unofficial Disney Parks Drink Recipe Book also comes with a Disney Parks map that shows where the drink locations are which can be really handy for those that go to the Parks often! The Unofficial Disney Parks Drink Recipe Book is a great Christmas gift or gift for any Disney foodie fan who likes to recreate Disney recipes at home.

The Unofficial Disney Parks Drink Recipe Book

This book has some of the wildest recipes you will ever make! The first part of the book lists the syrups you will need to prepare in order to enjoy these drinks and the tools you will need to make them!
You will be making syrups with Kool-Aid, grenadine, orange juice, apples, strawberries, dried flowers and a host of other ingredients. You will be making smoothies, juices, fizzy drinks, and even drinks that look like sunrises and thick candy covered shakes.
Most of the drinks are named after rides, events and characters at Disney World, Epcot and Disneyland so you will recognize them, you can even order the real thing if you visit there!
There is a Coke Float that was served in Toy Story land that has coke and simple syrup that is mixed with frozen ice cubes into a slushy mixture, a Black Spire hot chocolate that uses milk, cocoa powder, and sugar that is topped with whipped cream, and a Blue Bantha drink with a huge buttery coconut cookie perched over blue milk made with passion fruit, coconut milk and pineapple juice.
You can enjoy dessert drinks such as the Black Forest Milkshake made with ice cream, whipped cream, milk, and a dark chocolate sauce, or the Brooklyn Blackout a chocolate bombshell with chocolate ice cream, chocolate chips, chocolate frosting, and a brownie.
There is even a map included to show you where you can sample these and many other delicious drinks at your favorite theme park!

We love Disney Parks! Trying all the different food and drinks is an experience! This book will give you drink recipes to recreate some of the awesome drinks you can get in the parks. I loved how easy the recipes were to follow and I appreciated the description of where the drinks could be found in the parks.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

What a delightful recipe book to bring a little bit of Disney magic back home! With the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World this year, I anticipate that this title will fly off the shelves. The drink recipes in this book bring back happy memories of my times in the park and I know they will help park lovers reminisce, as well. I know Disney is family-friendly, but as a lover of adult beverages, I would have loved the addition of tips for what adult libation should be added for extra pixie dust magic.
