This is my first time reviewing something like this, so please bear with me. This is one I am REALLY excited to show some love to this bad boy! COCKTAILS FROM THE CRYPT offers 60 cocktail recipes meticulously paired with iconic horror movies for the ultimate spine-chilling movie night, get together, or just anytime you feel like making a great drink.
The cover is gorgeous. This would make a great gift or display for your own home. The interior is equally impressive. The recipes are easy to follow, the images make them look absolutely delectable, and this is the first time that I am saying that I truly recommend going all in and grabbing the hardcover. It's very much worth it!
I also love the fun trivia that goes along with each movie. The movie selection is great, too. There's a nice mix of both modern and classics. It really is more than just a recipe book of cocktails; this book is a whole vibe.
Oh, and one of the best parts?! It offers substitutes, etc., so that you can make mocktails if alcohol isn't for you! And the substitutes are GOOD! They really thought of EVERYTHING when it came to this book!
I love the synopsis on this book, so I am going to throw that in here too:

Thank you Kaye Publicity for the book!
This is perfect for spooky season or horror movie nights.
The cocktails matched the paired movies perfectly. There is a nice mix of classic and modern films. Each cocktail is photographed perfectly with little trivia notes included on each page.
There are recipes for syrups, alcohol substitutes, and my favorite part as someone that doesn't drink: mocktail substitutions in the back.

Beautiful photos, funny quips, fun facts and trivia, horror, and well crafted drinks! What more can you ask for? There are even substitutions for those who do not drink alcohol.

Neat idea; I don't even drink but I love pretty much anything horror inspired. I took the concept to make some non-alcoholic drinks.
