A fun cocktail book based on classic films. The descriptions are fun and punny and (some) of the drinks sound amazing!

Many delicious sounding options in this book. Accompanied by humorous plays on words. I enjoyed.

At some point in each of Tim Federle's cocktail books, one of the puns makes me burst out laughing. This time I didn't make it further than the Introduction: "Close Encounters of the Slurred Kind" - THAT is funny. Plus it could be the title of my autobiography, circa 1987-1994.

Lauren Mortimer does an exquisite job with what look to my untrained eye to be pencil drawings at catching the drinks, the puns, and the recognizable visuals from the movies in her work. I prefer how this book breaks down the recipes into groups. I still have a few weeks left on my library checkouts for these so I’m planning to keep it and possibly try some of the options once I’m able to get more supplies. Which should be easy to do, as the index is set up both by title and ingredient.

Clever titles and summaries but I wasn't interested in watching most of the movies. Maybe I'll try some of the recipes.

Yet another big time winner in this series. As long as they keep making these books, I will keep reading, and drinking my way through them folks! Cheers!
