Title: "Let's Get Monster Smashed"
Author(s): Jon Chaiet and Marc Chaiet
Release Date: Aug. 28, 2017
"Let's Get Monster Smashed" is one of the most fun food & wine books you'll ever read in your lifetime. Jon and Marc Chaiet aren't joking when they say "Horror Movie Drinks For A Killer Time." The names of the chapters and the drinks will have you in love with the book.
There are around 55 recipes with five chapters, one is a non-alcoholic chapter too. There is such a variety in the book that you'll never get bored. The Chaiet brothers should be proud of their creations. Just as being a reader you can see how exciting it must have been creating the drinks.
Here's an example of some of the drinks names and the movies:
Before the recipes, there are a few tips on what glasses to use, how to make different types of syrups, a list of tools, etc. It's a pretty helpful to read or skim through that before starting out any of the recipes.
The photos of the drinks give such a vintage feel as does the artwork. The artwork of the monsters reminds one of being a kid and collecting weird cards. It's just fun and darkly whimsical.
If you love horror movies and a few drinks, you'll love thumbing through "Let's Get Monster Smashed." Even if you are a novice in the horror genre, you should still give the book a chance.
"Let's Get Monster Smashed" is also great for any Halloween party too.
