Description

Sip like a star with 65 cocktails inspired by cinema's greatest moments and characters.

Popcorn optional, cocktails essential: raise a glass like it's an Academy Award as your movie nights get a red carpet upgrade. Cinematic Cocktails features 65 original and creative drink recipes inspired by the films we love most—from timeless cult classics and international film favourites to modern Hollywood blockbusters. Whether you're shaking up a Man Out of Time while channeling Captain America, sipping a Flux Capacitor worthy of powering a time-travelling DeLorean, or pouring The Witch of the West for your next musical marathon, this book perfectly pairs drinks with the moods, characters, and magic of the silver screen.

Written by film and TV journalist Matt Looker, known as @CocktailChap, Cinematic Cocktails is divided into eight popular movie genres and is packed with gorgeous illustrations, easy-to-follow recipes, and a dash of film trivia. Perfect for hosting friends, celebrating a premiere, or simply treating yourself to a themed happy hour, it's the ultimate gift for cocktail lovers and film buffs alike and will turn any movie night into an event.

Inside, you'll find:

65 bespoke cocktail recipes inspired by iconic movies and characters such as I Am Iron Manhattan (inspired by Iron Man), Death Star Martini (Star Wars), and Stay Classy (Anchorman).
Film trivia and behind-the-scenes facts that bring cinematic history to life.
Classic drinks with a twist, from martinis to spritzes to themed party punches.
Stylish illustrations that make this book as beautiful as it is practical.
Additional recipes for creating syrups, infused liquors, and more.

Whether you're a cinephile, a cocktail enthusiast, or both, Cinematic Cocktails proves that the right drink can make every screening feel like opening night.
