Just like the cocktails you choose in all the bars ! Can’t wait to have a go at making my own very soon some popular cocktails
by Miss C Newton
This book aims to cover theatrical cocktails and hence has sections on spherification (making the little tasty gel balls), making foams and use of dry ice. For a beginning book on molecular cocktails (intermediate cocktail book) it seems quite straightforward with little specialist equipment required and only a couple of special ingredients. I must admit that I haven’t attempted the more complex techniques yet – and am intending to skip using dry ice entirely – but this book makes the topic seem approachable.
I’ve drunk at Alchemist a few times and find most of their foams a bit sweet for my taste so I’m actually looking forward to making my own versions and tweaking to my taste. Several look like you could skip this element if you wanted to. Unlike the last few cocktail books I’ve bought or been gifted the alcoholic ingredients are a bit easier to get hold of and they don’t emphasise specific brands so if you have a well stocked bar you can probably do most of these drinks.
I’d recommend this book if you’re used to making basic cocktails and want to up your game. Particularly if you’re throwing a party, hen night or occasion for other people who genuinely like cocktails. These are original and modern cocktails and I know that they’re tasty as I’ve had several of the recipes in their bar.

The book itself is everything i hoped it would be, beautiful recipes and info on all the special effects the Alchemist cocktails use. However as many other reviews mention it arrived with marks on the cover and generally worse for wear, meaning it looks a bit rubbish given as a gift for my partner. It was protected by anything other than it’s cardboard sleeve box.

Plenty of tips and recipes. Even gives you instructions on how to add the drama. Great that it has a page dedicated to resources as not all ingredients required are freely available. Great book all round

Once you have the gear, the instructions are pretty straight forward. And not all of them require dry ice. That’s more if you’re going to be making batches of them for a party.

Lots of information and ideas to try. Some are a bit technical.
Ideal for any mixologist or bar tender looking to create something more dramatic.
