It is no secret that I love a cocktail and an excuse to drink a cocktail. Luckily Ulysses Press reached out with the opportunity to review a perfect enabling book, \u201cThe Turn of the Screwdriver: 50 Dark & Twisted Literary Cocktails\u201d by Iphigenia Jones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Turn of the Screwdriver\u201d has nearly 50 cocktails divided up into The Classics (1764-1970) and The Modern (1970-2022). When it comes to cocktail names, this book is top tier! In The Modern section you\u2019ll find cocktails such as Red Rum, Things We Mulled in the Cider, Lestat\u2019s Bloody Sazerac, and Mexican Hot Gotholate. The Classics feature The Greyhound of the Baskervilles, A Dark and Stormy Night in the House of Usher, The Picture of Dorian Grey Goose, and The Phantom Collins of the Opera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the drinks are exactly what their name implies, but just with a fun new name. However, there are some that are modified or new. The recipes use easy to acquire ingredients and fairly simple to make. Per usual, I HAD to test out at least one so I made The Woman in White Wine Spritzer. This recipe is a perfect example from this book, it\u2019s simple, the recipe isn\u2019t new or different, but damn that name makes you stoked to drink one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Turn of the Screwdriver\u201d by Iphigenia Jones is a lot of fun! Not only is it a great book for parties, but it also is a solid source from some classic cocktail recipes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
