A fun and creative read. This craft cocktail compendium will keep you and your friends entertained for hours!

So so SO fun! I loved reading about the Queens as much as I enjoyed the cocktails! I wish their picture was included but I would google them to get the full experience while reading about them. I loved that the drinks were illustrated instead of pictured. It gave a fun, campy, artsy feel to it. And I’m a fall girl so Very Delta was my very favorite.

Good Day everyone! What a beautiful day to do a review on a very colorful book filled with Alcohol beverages that are guaranteed to tingle the taste buds! I wanted to share at least one drink that I LOVED , I tried a few but this was by far my favorite, Cream-A-Ballerina because it was so delicious , creamy and festive. I love the beautiful images that go along with all the recipes for these drinks . Do you like mixed drinks? Do you like to be more than ordinary ? If so these drinks are for you! I would purchase this beautiful book and take it to the club, bar, wherever your going and have them make these drinks for you!

I decided to go out of my comfort zone reviewing Cocktail books ( reviewing 2) I am glad I did it because I now have some drinks I want to try with a few friends. Some of the drinks I tried :

Very delta = Very festive and delicious

Pinarita= DELICOUS smooth and I love both pina colada and margarita so a hit for me lol

Neon angel = A beautiful tasting lemonade mixer , I liked it but not my favorite lol

and last but not least ( other than the Cream a ballerina )

The tension tamer = I love citrus so I really liked this one smooth and oh so citrus

I do highly recommend this book especially if you like to throw parties . I hope you enjoyed my short but sweet review , I really am excited to try a few other drinks soon, need to make a run to a bigger Liquor store to get a few things I couldn’t find near me.

This book is so fun!
I love cocktails. I love drag queens. And really tying them together only makes sense.
Each recipe comes with a brief blurb about the queen that inspired it.
I made a handful of the drinks (for research obviously) and the recipes were simple and easy to follow.
Definitely pick this up for a cocktail fan or drag queen fan in your life.

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book is a fun idea with a bunch of cocktails inspired by famous drag queens and instructions on how to make them. My biggest complaint about this book is there are no photos of the cocktails just illustrations and while the drawings are beautiful I was hoping to see what the drinks look like in real life! There's some standard cocktails as well as some more unique mixes.

Dragtails is my new favorite cocktail recipe book and I can't wait to gift my sister a copy after it publishes! I can't wait to try so many of the recipes. I love how each cocktail has an inspiration and explanation. The illustrations were so beautiful, colorful, and matched perfectly with each drink. This would be a beautiful addition to any coffee table or bar cart.

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group – White Lion, White Lion Publishing for allowing me to be an early reader. All opinions are my own.

This is such a fun creative book. For any fan of drag or like entertaining with inventive cocktails this book is an excellent addition

This book, brimming with recipes inspired by drag queens, had the potential to be even more captivating by featuring the outfits they wore alongside the cocktails. I appreciated the inclusion of up-and-coming drag queens in the book. Though it might be a personal quirk, the image of dragon tails lingered in my mind as I read through the content.

If you love Drag culture or love making cocktails at home, this book is perfect. The photos are beautiful and spot light many well known drag queens plus some that were new to me, but I could see and feel their larger than life personalities in this book. If you love making cocktails and have solid skills, these drinks are beautiful and many are very unique. The down side of that is that some are pretty complex to make, have ingredients that you may not have on hand at your home bar, and may stretch your skills as a bartender. If your up for the challenge or just want a very pretty book for your bar collection, pick this one up!

What a fun book. This is a fun recipe book of cocktails, and each drink is inspired by a famous drag queen. The recipes are easy to follow, and each drink is matched with a beautiful illustration.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – White Lion Publishing for an arc in exchange for an honest review

Dragtails is a creative cocktail book inspired by famous drag queens. The recipes are a creative spin to traditional cocktails and include a synopsis of the queen they were named after. The instructions are easy to follow but they do lack the type of glass that should be used. I was disappointed that there were not real photos of the drinks, while the illustrations are nicely done it would have been better to see the actual concoction. The cocktails were overly sweet for my taste so they did not appeal to me as much as I was hoping they would. Overall this is a great addition for a fun party or the next screening of Drag Race.

Dragtails is a collection of cocktail recipes inspired by drag queens (and kings). The drinks look FABULOUS. I love that each recipe is inspired by different royalty, and they each get a little paragraph of introduction and inspiration. The variety of drinks is impressive.

I totally love that they use images that aren't real pictures. Normally, photographs are one of the highlights in a recipe collection (for me), so I was a little surprised by this choice. And honestly, it's unconventional, but the pictures are so well done, it is really the perfect choice for a a collection of cocktails celebrating the unconventional! I absolutely love this! ❤️

Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this eARC in exchange for my honest review on the book!

So much fun. Love how it tells us about the artist and how the drink relates. Also it’s so respectful and considerate to include mocktails for the sober artists and the enjoyment of the sober reader!

My only criticism is that I’d have loved to see real photos of the dragtails. As gorgeous as the illustrations are, and they are gorgeous, real life is always gonna look different!

Dragtails is perfectly over the top! The photos are gorgeous and the tie between drag queens and cocktails is awesome. Starting with 'The Showgirl', inspired by Danny La Rue through dozens of great drag queens and drinks. Loved the Grand Maha-Raja, inspired by Raja Gemini! And all the cocktail have cool suggestions for presentation. This book is wonderful addition for anyone who likes to entertain!

I love a good cocktail book with truly unique recipes that I have never had before. The book definitely fit the bill. There are so many drinks that look amazing and I am so excited to try them all.

I adore the consistency of the title and theme with information about the person who inspired the cocktail included with every recipe. I spent as much time reading the stories as I did reading the recipes.

The artwork is phenomenal. So much of it looks like something I would want to frame and hang in my home bar. The only downside to the art is it makes me want to try all of the drinks immediately, which is probably not the best idea I have ever had.

Overall, one of the best cocktail books I have seen in a long time.

The recipes are clear and easy to follow. I like that an outline of the type of glass needed is include at the bottom of the recipe. I LOVE the blurbs about each member of drag royalty. They’re funny and informative. The drawings of the drinks are beautifully done and I love the imagery, but I do wish there were actual pictures of the drinks since I’m more of a visual person. But that’s me. These drinks still sound fabulous and delicious!

This recipe book is great for people who are fans of drag and fancy cocktails. If you’ve ever attended or wanted to attend a drag brunch, this recipe book is for you. LGBTQIA+

Super fun.
I liked how each dragtail was easy to make and came with a little info about the Drag Queen it's named after.
The pictures were colorful and vibrant and useful to see how your attempt should look.
I received a copy via Net Galley and all opinions are my own.

I had such a fabulous time reading this! This book, a collection of dragtails described by a host of our favourite drag stars, with a foreword written by Raja Gemini, meshes the fierceness of drag with the jollity of cocktail concoction. I loved the descriptions provided by each star on their own background and inspiration for their drink. Many of these sound so easy to make but I know it will definitely be easier said than done (they make it sound easy)! I loved the illustrations but did wish there were other illustrations as well (maybe some of the stars holding their drinks?). All in all, such an enjoyable experience reading this book and I would love to gift this to friends.

Synopsis (from Netgalley, the provider of the book for me to review.)

LOTS of great cocktails in here from your favourite queen .. or one you have never heard of before…their names alone are making the spellchecker lose its mind. Beautiful drinks, beautiful queens and a great way to jazz up a party and your life. Just don’t serve them at story time as the bigots will shut you down!
Remember .. #moreglitterlessbitter

This was lots of fun - featuring cocktail recipes inspired by different drag queens. Each recipe includes the directions, a fun blurb about the queen who inspired it, and an over-the-top illustrated image of the cocktail. Some also included mocktail adaptations. Filled with queens you know and some you might not, I thought this was tons of fun! I would have loved some content on fun cocktail styling along with the recipes.
