Not exactly my style or what I thought the book would be. I enjoyed the comic book idea but found that it was generally too dense with words and writing that defeats the purpose of the style.

thanks to netgalley and the publishers for providing me a arc in exchange for a honest review. My score would be around 3.5-4 so I'm rounding up.

to my delight and surprise I enjoyed this a lot. I am not a drinker of any alcoholic beverages and never plan to be but it was still fun to learn so much. so you can tell, I am not the target audience for this comic book, so the recipes didn't have any interest for me. I cant say anything about the quality. I really like the comic format of nonfiction. it makes the reading experience so fun. Id love to pick up other books like this in the future.
the things that I loved the most and see myself looking back on the most is Thomas Jerry, the 1900s era of cocktails as a whole, both Cubas and Europe's histories, etc.. I sometimes forget as a American that other places have American inspired food/drink places. the coca cola lore drop was interesting considering my grandma is a addict with that drink. Last time I asked if I could have one she said no because we aren't going to the store for a few days and there's little left, what a shame.
onto my criticisms the text was a bit blurry. I'm hoping this is just a thing with the arc copy? it is readable for the most part but irritating. I also wish it went into discussions of the cultures cocktails and bars create, good and bad.

Thank you Netgalley, Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press, and Ten Speed Graphic for the Advance Readers Copy of this book!

This comic book was informative and entertaining! I loved learning the history of the cocktail in such a fun format!

I enjoyed the information shared in this - I didn't go in knowing much about cocktails so I definitely learned a lot. I liked the mixture of history and recipes and story format as well as comic format. Cool idea and good execution; only thing that I didn't care for was how much information was fit into a page - but that could be more of having to read it on a computer/phone instead of a hard copy, where the type may be easier to read.
