Spooky Cocktails was a fun read where I look forward to making the drinks featured in it. I enjoyed the informative quality of each recipe with possible variations on the drink and a short history if it was applicable. It was also nice to see a section for non-alcoholic drinks as well. Towards the end of the book, specifically the sections about punch and hot drinks, the focus on connecting the cocktails to spooky or horror topics seemed to drift a bit. It seems like a pretty solid line up of drinks and I look forward to making them in the future!

This book was mainly just classic recipes but with some sort of slight "twist" to be "spooky" and the photos were just classic cocktails on Halloween backgrounds. It's fun to read the blurbs but not worth it for a full book of spooky cocktails as advertised.

This book of spooky cocktails was pleasantly surprising. It had a ton of recipes that stayed on brand with the whole spooky season vibes. Loved the little intros to each and the pictures of the finished drinks. I did feel like some of the pictures looked very "hobby lobby" but still a great cocktail book to add to the collection.

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
