The book is awesome and absolutely stunning! It would make an excellent gift for someone who is a huge fan of show. I haven’t made a cocktail yet but I have it on my list!

Peaky Blinders is a UK television series, currently in its fifth season. The series tells the story the fictional Shelby family, and their criminal exploits, in the immediate aftermath of World War I. The TV show is lauded for its stylish cinematography, and, like the series, The Peaky Blinders Cocktail Book is visually stunning. The photographs of the cocktails align to the period and style of the Peaky Blinders TV series, with vintage-looking glassware, lots of timber and wood elements, bartenders dressed in waistcoats, amber lighting and golden tones. Photographs from the TV series accompany the cocktail photos and recipes. The cocktails are not original/unique to the show (as far as I can tell) - they've renamed classic cocktails (Mr Sabini = a Boulevardier, Changretta = Hanky Panky, Charles Strong = Classic Martini).

The table of contents, and the order of recipes in the book, is sorted by the primary spirit in the cocktails, which fall into three categories: Whiskey, Gin, and Other Spirits. It makes it convenient to flip to the style of cocktail you'd like to make. There are 15 whiskey-based recipes, 15 gin-based recipes, and 10 "other" spirit recipes (generally rum and cognac).

The index lists each cocktail ingredient separately, along with the associated cocktails, so it is easy at a glance to determine what cocktail to make based on flavour profile, or the ingredients on your shelf. The index highlights a gripe I have with a lot of cocktail books; there are quite a few 'one-off' liqueurs and brandies that get used in only one cocktail. To make quite a few of the cocktails, you'll need to purchase ingredients that you probably won't use very often - like elderflower liqueur, peach brandy, cherry liqueur - or will end up throwing out after using 10ml of it (e.g. peach nectar and mango syrup).

I'd also like to see some more information on the show, not just photographs. The book is lacking text specific to the show; there's no mention/introduction to Peaky Blinders and no commentary on the series. Some insights or behind the scenes stories would make it more interesting, and give it more value to fans; something other than just the still frames alongside renamed classic cocktails.

Overall, it is a beautiful book, and I suspect a fan of the Peaky Blinders TV Series would be happy to receive the Peaky Blinders Cocktail Book as a gift.

Decoratively illustrated with lustrous photography of the cocktails. I love the amount of whiskey recipes and, of course, all the tie-in's to the show. The cocktails all look so delicious I can't wait to make some of them at my next party.

The Peaky Blinders Cocktail Book is one of a kind! The cocktails are creative and delicious, and the photography is beautifully done. Although you may need to run out and gather some of the more unique ingredients, I believe it is completely worth it!

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – White Lion for providing me with an e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

5/5 Stars! Definitely a book for cocktail lovers!

The Peaky Blinders Cocktail Book is everything a fan of the show could ask for. The book mixes classes cocktail recipes with some new (soon-to-be) favorites! The recipes are primarily Whiskey or Gin based (with a few rum and cognac recipes) and separated out by spirit. Each recipe contains an absolutely gorgeous picture of the final cocktail which definitely gave me something to aspire toward when mixing them up. All of the recipes are simple to follow along with and generally consist of only a two-step process. HUGE BONUS: there are pictures of the cast throughout the book!

I love Peaky Blinders and that’s why I requested this book. The recipes are amazing and so creative! I haven’t gotten a chance to make any of these cocktails yet but it’s on my priority list because these look and sound absolutely delicious!
I love when books and pop culture mix so I highly recommend this for anyone who loves Peaky Blinders.

This book is creative and full of delicious cocktail recipes! My husband is a self proclaimed cocktail connoisseur and we love all things pop culture. Our worlds collided with the creation of this book and I couldn’t be more thrilled. This would make a great housewarming gift or would be perfect for fans of the show. I already tested out the recipe for Grace’s Secret and I can’t wait to make this drink for friends. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy!

This book is absolutely beautiful!!!

During lockdown I have become a HUGGGGEEEEE Peaky Blinders fan! So this book was a no-brainer.
Wow! This book is just so beautiful. The images of the drinks and the cast are absolute perfection!
So many cocktails I want to try - despite the fact they seem pretty lethal with their ingredients haha!

I have been lucky enough to receive an electronic advanced copy for review, but it's so beautiful I've had to pre-order a hard copy of the book.

I haven't yet tried any of the recipes, but I will be!!! Loved this, and it's a brilliant accompaniment for any fan of the show (or any fan of a bevvy or two!!)

For fans of Peaky Blinders and of course cocktails.
A perfect accompaniment to a themed night in, you will find a selection of 40 cocktails in this book with separate chapters for Whiskey, Gin and other spirit bases.
The recipes are accompanied by beautiful photographs of each cocktail and Peaky Blinders images are throughout.
Be sure to have a variety of mixers to hand including surprisingly Earl Grey tea, egg whites and pine needles.
Grab your cocktail shaker and vermouth and enjoy!

This is neatly illustrated and has some beautiful photographs to accompany what reads to be some delicious drinks. The book pays homage well to Peaky Blinders with characters, places, and events referenced in the names of the drinks that range from Rum, Gin, and other spirits for the cocktails.

A super fun gift book for any Peaky Blinders fan! With fun cocktails that tie into the show and beautiful photographs of the characters that will make anyone swoon, the Peaky Blinders Cocktail Book is the perfect tie-in for this show!

By Order of the Peaky Blinders, you must draw up a bar stool and enjoy a cocktail with me.

This is a sumptuous book, with beautiful photography from the hit show ‘Peaky Blinders’ with perfectly matching photography of aspirational cocktails, which will have you dribbling as you reach for the shaker. Those Shelby brothers must really love their whiskey and gin, as those are the predominate liquors making up the recipes. But there’s also Pimms and champagne if you prefer. Lots of new combinations here and I for one will not be making my ‘West High’ without burning a few pine needles for that smoky taste.

The instructions are simple, usually with only two things to do to make your drink. The recipes are new and creative. Yes it’s a coffee table, easy reading book, but it’s a classy one. Perfect for the Cillian Murphy fans out there who like a tipple or two.

The “Peaky Blinders Cocktail Book” is a great addition to any bar/party. With about a dozen ingredients you could make any number of the recipes provided for in this book. Many of the cocktails share juices and liquors and it makes it easy to keep a stash on hand to mix up whatever you are in the mood for. This book is also incredibly simplistic, about 90% of the recipes take 5 minutes to make and require only basic kitchen tools - no need for fancy bar tools. Each recipe is also equipped with a photo of the finished product. Really enjoyed this book and look forward to working my way through all of the drinks.

This book is AWESOME!!!! I am a huge fan of the Peaky Blinders show, and while I am not a drinker myself I did enjoy all of the themed drinks in this book. It was fun to see drinks named after certain characters, moments, places or references from the show. The added feature of beautiful artwork of characters from the show was a really nice bonus too, and kept me turning the pages. I would recommend this book for any fans of the show, and as an item that would make a nice gift for any of the Peaky Blinders fans in your life.

I have to say this was a fun and quick read. Naturally, all of the cocktails tie back into the show with characters having their own drink, along with some of the themes surrounding the show. As someone who has binged, and done many a rewatch, it was nice little touch to recall certain moments and characters that are no longer with us.

The cast photos were a nice touch as well. Not only is Peaky Blinders a wonderfully written show, but the costume department does a wonderful job as well. So the high res photos were a wonderful addition to get a closer look at those. The photos of the cocktails were a wonderful, and colorful, addition as well. One page held a quick and easy recipe while the next had a photo of what your cocktail should look like. Even though I read this as an ebook, I could see they set up the Hardback will have and I think it lovely.

I also liked the sketches the joined the recipes themselves, it helped to keep with the Peaky Blinders theme.

The books has three different sections: Rum, Gin, and Other Spritis. Each section has a hanful of cocktails that I'd personally never heard of before, and found a few drinks in each section I would love to try to make myself. And, a few I'm not sure I'm brave enough to try because I'm not real sure how I feel about marmalade in cocktail. There is also a lovely index at the back of the book for a quick search of anything you are in the mood for.

Honestly, my biggest issue with this book had nothing to with the book itself. It was just very hard to read in ebook form. Some of the photos were distorted and I had to turn the flip option off my phone to read a few pages they were set in a vertically instead of horizantally like the rest of the book. An issue that will not carry over to physically copies I'm sure.

For my first book gifted to me through NetGalley I was happy with it. It was a quick read, but an enjoyable one. In fact I'd love to add this to my collection of cookbooks when it officially released. Hints have already been dropped about how this would make a wonderful of Christmas present.

Buy, Borrow, or Skip: If want a to read a fun companion from the show I'd say snag this bad boy from your local library. If you, like myself, collect cookbooks I'd say buy. Not only is it a fun conversation starter, the drinks are easily made at home, and Tommy Shellby is on the cover.

I'm sure this is a book suitable for fans of Peaky Blinders, especially if one loves cocktails. There's sections in it, which makes it easy to go through, as well as several cocktails I want to make, such as Arthur's Coffee.

This is a beautiful book. The photography is lovely and rich, both of the cocktails and the cast. The naming is clever, and while some of the drink recipes are not super original, they are thematically connected enough to make sense. Peaky Blinders fans will want a copy of this book. Cocktail fans will likely find something more extensive with more recipes and fewer brooding photos.

First. I cannot love Peaky Blinders enough (well, I suppose I could, but y'know, all within reason. Nope. Peaky Blinders defies reason in my case). To see a cocktail book based on PB just makes sense. It's a beautifully designed book with great illustrations, awesome photos, and ingredients/recipes I can handle - pour, stir, pour, done). My next PB Netflix binge will definitely be including drinks found in this book. It's the small things that bring happiness. #PeakyBlindersCocktailBook #NetGalley

Peaky Blinders Cocktail Book by Sandrine Houdre-Gregoire is full to bursting with interesting and beautiful cocktails and drinks. The drinks are easy to make with only a few ingredients. The book itself is stunning! Each cocktail has its own picture and special name and there are pictures of various Peaky Blinders characters throughout the book.

As a super fan of Peaky Blinders, and a lifetime fan of cocktails (all varieties), this book was a win win for me. Got to say, not so much the whiskey - just because - yuck (although my hubby was a huge fan of the Vendetta). Now get me on the Champagne Cocktail, the West High, and the Pimm’s Number 1 and I was in heaven. So many wonderful twists on classic cocktails, all inspired by the world of Peaky Blinders, also featuring some wonderful photos from the series. If you’re both a fan of Beaky Blinders, and trying the odd cocktail (or two, or three), this is most definitely the book for you. I loved it. I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my honest review.
