Horror movie nights and booze go hand-in-hand, so it’s actually a shock that has taken someone so long to come up with this simple, yet brilliant idea.
Let’s Get Monster Smashed pairs more than 50 themed cocktails, punches and alcoholic jelly mixes with horror movies. The full-colour, hardcover book is simply set out with large, professional shots of the finished products, easy to follow, step-by-step instructions and an easy to use guide on preparation techniques and hardware.
Beverages range from simple twists on popular concoctions to the wild and innovative but each carries its own distinct horror vibe and is a perfect companion to the film from which it is inspired. With plenty of options on hand this is the perfect book to spice up your next horror movie night.

First off I loved the style of this, it had the whole eighties vibe about it with the heading fonts and moody photography. And I was accepted just in time for our horror-themed marathon movie/party night. If you have the major components already (i.e gin/vodka/rum) lying around you can make a lot of these without spending a tonne of money. Plus it gives a few handy tips for mixing and layering at the start( the over spoon trick is the hardest part of any cocktail, I swear).

Anyway, a very happy (if somewhat inebriated) reviewer here.
