This collection of drink recipes is a “scarily good” assortment. What I did very much enjoy was the blurbs that came along with the recipes. I am a fan of the paranormal so I very much enjoyed the Ghost Tours chapter and the background to some of the most haunted areas in the US. There are many fun facts throughout the book, one in particular I enjoyed seeing was for “Death in the Afternoon” which discusses the origins of absinthe which I personally learned about only because I was on a distillery tour and was able to try absinthe.
One thing to be aware of in advance is that quite a few of these drinks have ingredients that you most likely do not have in your kitchen. A trip to the store may be necessary to experiment with some of these delicious sounding spirits.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing this ARC. 

This book has a very cool cover and a concept that sounded great, but unfortunately it didn't deliver. 

I expected the book to have new and interested cocktail recipes, but instead it just includes classic cocktails photographed in front of a spooky background. Putting a margarita or an eggnog in front of Halloween decorations doesn't make them into spooky cocktails in my opinion.

The cocktail recipes are good, but simce they're literally just basic cocktails, you can find the same recipes anywhere else. 

The writing also felt pretty pretentious at times, which I wasn't a fan of. It also discouraged experimentation which in my opinion is always a bad sign for q recipe book. 

Might be what some people want, but it wasn't what I wanted it to be.

Great recipes, I can't wait to try them. The graphics were great. I would love a version for all of the different holidays
