Secret Blind Items & Luxury Cocktails
Author: Liana Bonnani
⭐️⭐️⭐️

This would be a fun book for someone who is into celebrity gossip and cocktails. However, to me, most of the drinks were pretty generic - lemondrop, espresso martini, margarita, etc. There wasn't a fun or personal twist on the cocktails and I think more of the focus is on the gossip than the actual drinks. If you have extensive cocktail knowledge this is probably not the book for you.

Thanks to NetGalley, FOWGID Publishing, and Liana Bonnani for an advanced copy of the book. All thoughts in this review are my own.

This cocktail book is a gem—more than just recipes, each drink tells a story that makes you feel like a mixology pro. The easy-to-follow recipes are a breeze, even for beginners, and it includes favorites like the Lemon Drop (aka The Hip Hop Dasher). With stunning images that’ll make you want to try every drink, this book is a must-have for anyone who loves cocktails and wants a little fun without the fuss.

A huge thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for the opportunity to read this advanced copy.

This cocktail book is such a fun and unique concept. Full of delicious cocktail recipes and interesting stories. All the recipes are easy to follow and the images are beautiful! If you love cocktails, you're gonna love this book!

Thank you to NetGalley, Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op, FOWGID Publishing and Liana Bonnani for giving me an ARC of this cool book!

Fun book with blind gossip about the celebrities that frequented the bar, as well as great recipes for the cocktails, and great pictures!

It was fun trying to figure out who the celebrities were!

Interesting stories and delicious looking cocktails. Some of the people were recognizable due to the clues.

*Secret Blind Items & Luxury Cocktails* is the perfect blend of celebrity gossip and high-end drinks, making it a must-read for cocktail lovers and pop culture enthusiasts alike! My husband and I had so much fun creating our own cocktail takes on recipes like the Paris 75 and The Canadian Old Fashioned. Mixing drinks while trying to guess which celebrity might be behind those wild stories—like “The Dine and Dash Heroes” or “The Mentalist”—added a whole new level of entertainment to our date nights. This book is a delicious escape into a world of luxury and scandal, with a cheeky twist! 🍹
