Pairs two of my favorite things!
Derived From Web , Aug 24, 2021
I like music. I like trying new drinks. When COVID forced us to clear our calendars we decided to throw caution to the wind and work our way through it, cover to cover. We are almost to the end and I have learned so much about so many artists that I never listen to them and have about 25 new favorite drinks. Some friends and I shared our favorite albums with their cocktails for a couple of fun evenings. We have spent a lot of money on alcohol. My bar has a lot of bottles. It would have been fun without Covid, but it would have taken a long time to complete the task. We can not wait for Book 2! Thank you, Cheers!

Cool book. Authors seem like dinks.
Derived From Web , Dec 28, 2020
The book is very well written. It's a great take on the album and cocktail combinations. When I got to the back, the authors added their own rules for mixing. If you shake a drink with milk it will double in size and make you feel like you're drunk. It is the same as blowing bubbles through a straw into a glass of milk. Martinis and manhattans don't need to be stirred. Customers are asked for them to be shaken if they don't think so. Manhattans should be shaken until ice chips float on top, according to classic recipe books. All cocktails should be made in a way that you like having them. Don't allow a douchy food writer to tell you otherwise. Food Bloggers are people who consume food and drink and have an opinion on it. That is it. They do nothing else. They don't have a restaurant background or a basis other than being a consumer.

Love this book
Derived From Web , Nov 29, 2020
The book is on my turntable stand next to the record player and it makes a nice addition to the conversation. The book is about the same size as a 45 record. The paper on the book is good and it feels tough. My cat vomited all over the first book because she didn't respect me, so I ordered a second book and it's just as good.

I was very impressed by this book. I bought this for my boyfriend, and he loves it. We can't wait to try all of the wonderful concoctions from the stunning collection of photos, album covers, and cocktails. The authors compiled an awesome collection and I hope they publish another one, I will definitely buy it! The item is great for parties and social gatherings.

A must for any cocktail aficionado!
Derived From Web , May 13, 2020
I bought this for a person who likes music and craft cocktails. She loved the book! It is definitely a book that any bartender would enjoy. The paper on which the book is printed has a matt effect. The book is presented with a lot of drinks. A bit of music history or fun facts can be incorporated into at least two cocktails per musician. I am glad I got the book. I definitely got points.

Excited to dive into my "new" book, but "new" is a stretch
Derived From Web , Jan 29, 2020
This is a fun concept, and I'm excited to get into it. I think it'll be a hit with friends because of the idea of throwing in a few other fun tips. I paid for a new copy of the book and received it. The binding is cracked and worn and the cover is sticky as if it were a coaster. I have nothing against used books, but it would have been nice to know what I was getting.

Amazing book.
Derived From Web , Jan 19, 2020
If you love all kinds of music, this is a great book. I have enjoyed sampling the unique beverages in this book. Some are crazy, but worth a try. Anyone who loves music should read this book. The authors put their own spin on music and booze after doing research. If they were to make a sequel to this book, I would buy it.

Love it!
Derived From Web , Aug 16, 2019
I wasn't sure if to buy this book as I'm not into drinking, but I was interested in the experience of cocktails and vinyls. I've found quite a few new favorite cocktails and have found my bank account is running out of money because of my love of great records. I enjoy the details and stories. The dark background makes some of the text difficult to read. It didn't distract from the book.
