Sci-fi and fantasy worlds are full of characters who know that sometimes magic happens at the bar. In addition to being a mixed drinks and alcoholic drinks book, Drink Like a Geek is a look at iconic drinks and the roles they play in our pop culture─our favorite movies, shows, books, and comics. It’s also a toast to the geeks, nerds, and gamers who keep this pop culture alive.

Flights of fantasy. Drink Like a Geek is a fan encyclopedia and cocktail book. Because we strongly encourage audience participation, dozens of recipes for otherworldly cocktails, brews, and booze are included.

Homebrewers and mixology geeks who are fans of superheroes, wizards, or intergalactic adventure will also enjoy this book’s celebration of real-world bar-arcades, geeky Tiki culture, and the surprising connections between space and modern booze.

In Drink Like a Geek, you’ll find entertainment and drinks for fans who love:

  • Sci-fi
  • Comic books
  • Wizards
  • Genre TV
  •  B-movies
  • Videogames

Editorial Reviews

Review

"It has been a great year for pop-up bars that pay homage to science fiction with themed menus and crazy décor, and this book feels like a visit to one of those bars. It dives deep into “Star Wars” prequels, “Doctor Who” (the blue-hued Gin & Tardis) and superhero culture (a Midori-spiked Hulk Smash), so a very specific audience will love this book." -Liquor.com

Review

“Listen, I like James Bond. And I like Star Wars. But I love drinking. And when this book made it clear that I could fully combine a series of films with a series of drinks, I ascended straight to heaven. Not only is Cioletti’s book informative and inventive, but wildly entertaining as well. Of course, I’m drunk on an Ewok ‘Bright Tree Swizzle,’ but there you go.”
―Matt Gourley, actor, comedian, & co-host of the James Bonding and Superego podcasts

“Jeff is a geek, but he's no snob. Like a friend who lends favorite comic books or tips you off to a great IPA, this book opens up a new worlds and shares your passion for their minute details. Drink Like a Geek revels in nerd culture while remembering that the best parts of being in the club are the people―and drinks―there with you.”
―Kate Bernot, managing editor, The Takeout (TheTakeout.com)

“A geek's geek and a drinker's drinker, Jeff Cioletti authoritatively puts a whole spectrum of geek-loved media together with peppy, name-checked cocktails. Wonderfully unique! Get Boilermakers with good old Greedo, and see who shoots first. Drink Romulan Ale with Doc McCoy, Tardis-blue gin with The Doctor, and a corrected Vesper with Bond; James Bond. Then argue about them; that's what Geeks do.”
―Lew Bryson, author of Tasting Whiskey and Whiskey Master Class; senior drinks writer at The Daily Beast

“You know that line about booze and knowledge? I'm convinced Tyrion Lannister stole it from Jeff Cioletti. The author of this book has an unabashed love and appreciation for inventive drinks and all forms of geekery. The two have more in common than you might think, and, as both step in from the fringes, Cioletti is here to get you deeper into your favorite genre and glass.”
―John Holl, author of Drink Beer, Think Beer: Getting to the Bottom of Every Pint and co-host of Steal This Beer, a podcast

“Drink Like a Geek is a blast! To all the besotted, sci-fi loving, gaming, twenty-sided-dice throwing, spell-casting nerds out there…be sure to also pick up a copy of MY forthcoming book, Avoiding Wedgies in Bars.”
―Dan Dunn, host of What We’re Drinking with Dan Dunn

“It celebrates drinking lore across a wide range of comic book and video game universes, plus recipes like the matcha green-tinged Yoda Gin Fizz.”
―Wine Enthustiast magazine

Not a user friendly drink recipe book
OK, I have a lot of mixed feelings about this book. There are things that I like and there are things that I really don’t.It’s just my opinion, but as a recipe book I feel that it’s not terribly useful and isn’t organized in a user-friendly way. A lot of this book is fluff and commentary about drinks that appear in different fandom content. That’s interesting, but it wasn’t what I was looking for. Some of these chapters only have one or two recipes in them. Some don’t have any recipes in them at all. How can you have a chapter on the undead, talk about The Walking Dead, and not at least include one of Donn the Beachcomber’s recipes to make a zombie?You can’t just look at the table of contents and know what each chapter is about or what drinks are listed there. I would have liked it if things are either organized by theme, or by ingredients (like ‘rum drinks’, vodka drinks’, etc)The biggest issue here is that there are a lot fewer recipes than I expected, and most of them call for uncommon/not easily found ingredients. Our home bar in the game room has a full bar… More ingredients than I think an average person would have on hand. I can’t make a lot of the drinks in this book without going out and hunting for the stuff the recipes call for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mixology explained for the geek in all of us
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2019

If pairing drinks with a movie was a game, this book nails it. Aside from the Ben & Jerry's-type pairing, Jeff artfully explains the proper way to make a drink, vice what they call for in movies just because the tag line has a nice ring. This explanation only makes me want to mix every drink in his book and then some. If Bond only knew that shaking martini's only bruises the complexity of this high spirit cocktail, he may have enjoyed them more. However, for the sake of saving the day, we are fortunate he never made it past one sip altering his agility and skill in always overcoming every nemesis without stumbling.

Whatever your fandom, Jeff has a drink for you. Seriously. Trekkies, Potterheads, lovers of Star Wars, James Bond, Game of Thrones, the Walking Dead. This is a really cool and thorough guide to boozy pop culture moments, complete with recipes. A must for everyone's bookshelf.

I got the impression this book would be full of 'geeky themed' çocktail recipes, unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations. If you're into reading about cocktails and the authors thoughts and opinions then this book is for you, otherwise, it shouldn't really be advertised as a cocktail making book as I had to try hard to even find the recipes amongst the pages and pages of rubbish!
