Cocktail Chemistry: The Art and Science of Drinks from Iconic TV Shows and Movies Hardcover – May 17, 2022

Whether or not you've followed Nick's Cocktail Chemistry YouTube channel over the past few years, this book has something for everyone.For fans of the channel (me, enthusiastically), this is both a hard copy reference of some of Nick's greatest recipes, techniques, and pop culture re-creations... while going further with related recipes and gorgeous photography.For those just looking to amp up their home cocktail game, this is a great resource to learn and grow. Nick reinforces drink-making fundamentals, then expands with increasingly creative modifications and techniques guaranteed to impress any guest*. In other words, the book lets you go as simple or complex as your home cocktail goals.*Without exaggeration, Nick's cocktail content has taken my dinner parties from good to great. I've wowed friends and dates with inventive recipes, custom syrups, smoke, fire, and ice. Despite owning other cocktail books, I always look to Cocktail Chemistry first for inspiration and recipes. Glad I now have a physical copy to reference anytime!

Nick's managed to capture the fun, unique and educational aspects of the Youtube channel in book form! The recipes are well thought-out, fun to read and flat out delicious. Even if you don't make a single cocktail, I'd still recommend the book just for the stunning pics!

Despite being a long-time craft cocktail enjoyer, I had always found the thought of making cocktails at home a bit intimidating. The Cocktail Chemistry YouTube channel and now book helped break down that wall for me. Nick does a nice job making the recipes accessible and as a self-professed nerd, I enjoy learning a bit of the origin stories and chemistry behind the cocktails. The recipes in this book are equally great for the entry level home bartender and those looking to flex their bartending skills in creative and more involved ways. I also love me some good pictures and this book has gorgeous ones that alone have inspired me to pull out my boston shaker on more than the occasional week night evening!

This book is so creative, very well written and easy to follow for a beginner like me!I learned so much even from the intro!Did you know that triangle measuring thingy is a jigger?! I do now!All of the drinks so far are quite complex yet the recipes are simple and fun. They actually look like the pictures in the book! I can't wait to try all of these!

This book breaks down the science and fine art of cocktail making in a smart, accessible way, and there so many great recipes to choose from and the photography is stunning. A fun way to liven up a cocktail party or home movie night by making something special, like a special twist on the Dude's White Russian!

The inside binding was coming apart when I got this book but all and all a great book and can't see the tear from the outside so it's fine.Extremely helpful information.

I thought I was a fairly educated cocktail connoisseur. But I learned so much about the subtle diffences in ingredients, like when to use lemon or lime or grapefruit. As a serious coffee drinker I've learned to make delicious and exotic coffee cocktails. Plus the photography is beautiful and compelling. I can't wait to try out several new recipes I learned when I have friends over this summer. Jude

I've been a fan of Nick's You Tube Channel for awhile and jumped at the chance to get his book. I was a little worried that it would just be a repeat of his channel. There are recipes in the book that are also on the channel, but there is more to the book and I LOVE how it is laid out. Just like the You Tube Channel you will get an indepth science lesson behind the drink and the parts of it. Learn the different types of glasses, how to make clear ice, different versions of the same drink. It didn't disappoint!
