Donna Kremer

This is my favorite bar book。 It includes many cocktails you’d want to drink with readily available ingredients, and the photography and page layouts are ultra sexy cool。 The index is pretty thorough when you’re looking for a recipe that includes those random bottles of liqueurs you’ve acquired in your cabinet。

Si solo fuera por los cocktails, estaría más o menos el libro, pero como de lo que trata es de mezclar tragos con discos sube muchos puntos aunado esto a una edición y diseño increíble。Un libro muy bonito para acompañar tu colección de libros de bar o tu colección de discos。 No es escencial, pero se ve muy bien。

BASIC all around。

Chris

Very cool, beautiful book with awesome craft cocktail pairings with classic vinyl albums。 I have 10-15 of these albums, so I’m looking forward to making the drinks and trying them out

Cheryl

Great coffee table book。 There’s some great drink recipes

Donna

Very much a concept book that will no doubt make you smile。 Safe and obvious choices with regard to the pairings of music and drinks。 Definitely needed more shots of turntables。 A coffee table book worth a look。

4。5 stars。 This was on a year-end list of cookbooks。 Recipe books? You don't cook cocktails, of course, but aside from that the focus is the vinyl。 What an innovative concept for a book。 Those liner notes and party ideas (with great matching photos and layouts) show a lot of love and passionate knowledge of the music。 Makes me want to at least listen to a lot of albums I missed the first time around, even if I can't get my hands on the vinyl。 There is an "A side" and "B side" cocktail recipe for 4。5 stars。 This was on a year-end list of cookbooks。 Recipe books?

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones。 The authors say it is their "go-to New Years Day brunch album。" As I was reading this at the beginning of January, fun! (There are parties for all seasons and reasons represented in the book。) 。。。more

Little essays on classic albums and suggested drinks and appetizers。 The text reads like something that was very inspirational a few drinks into conceptualizing and then had to be expanded to have enough material for a book。 A fun idea for cocktails with friends, but not enough true inspiration for a good theme-book。

Yeah, this is probably the most on-brand coffee-table tome I could possibly buy。 The selections are totally scattershot; some are a bit obvious (the omnipresent Led Zeppelin IV, when if you’re going to pick a Zeppelin album for drinking it really should be In Through the Out Door), some a bit questionable (albums about street riots and Vietnam don’t really belong in the “seduction” section, imo), and others are so on point you can’t help but smirk (Bruce and boilermakers? But of course)。 All in Yeah, this is probably the most on-brand coffee-table tome I could possibly buy。 The selections are totally scattershot; some are a bit obvious (the omnipresent Led Zeppelin IV, when if you’re going to pick a Zeppelin album for drinking it really should be In Through the Out Door), some a bit questionable (albums about street riots and Vietnam don’t really belong in the “seduction” section, imo), and others are so on point you can’t help but smirk (Bruce and boilermakers?
