WitchCraft Cocktails: 70 Seasonal Drinks Infused with Magic & Ritual

My husband and I have recently gotten into craft cocktails as a hobby and I was thinking wouldn't it be great if someone combined magick correspondences with these concoctions. So I was super excited to see Hadas' book. The book is well written and well researched, with an introductory level that seems accessible to beginners but something more experienced practitioners can build on, both of the cocktail and magickal variety. I have only tried a few of the recipes so far, but they are well balanced and taste great. My only nitpick is that one of the recipes calls for activated charcoal and since this ingredient can interfere with some medications, I feel a warning is always prudent.

This is an inviting, fun and gorgeous book with great photos, accessible correspondences and lots of impressive knowledge. Author Hadas infuses her art with crafty expertise and invites the reader to experiment and enjoy. In this dark time of Covid and with swaths of the western US on fire, I welcomed this book with enthusiasm and was not disappointed. She’s a creative, innovative and adept witchy talent and the recipes I’ve tried were delicious. I look forward to buying more copies of it as gifts for friends.

I’m not a witch or into anything of that nature, but I love making cocktails. This book is full of original cocktails and great recipes/pictures. I’ve made about 3 of them so far and they’ve been great. As with most cocktail books, your average bar is not going to be stocked with several ingredients you need. You’ll need to make your own shrubs/syrups for several recipes. However, it’s a good way to expand your skills behind the bar. I definitely recommend.

This is an amazing book. Not only other recipes great with the photos and the preamble and other content is beautifully written and laid out. I made a couple of of the cocktails for a party welcoming fall, and they were a huge hit.

Beautiful and outstanding! Well written, lots of great information on a variety of topics from bartending basics to preparing special drinks each season with a twist. Witchcraft Cocktails incorporates magical & astrological themes with a focus on spiritual energies through use of herbs, crystals to help unblock one’s chakra’s…to keep the mental, physical, emotional aspects in balance.I highly recommend this book for those interested in learning to make enchanting craft cocktails (or mocktails). It’s a delight read with enticing photos and makes a great gift. I plan to try something new each season. Love the ‘Summer’s Celebratory Sangria’, ‘Lovely Lady’ and can’t wait to try the ‘Witches Cauldron’ next. :)

Lovely looking book. Lovely pictures. Good content. My knowledge of cocktails is not vast so I can't speak to the uniqueness with accuracy but to me this is a LOT of nifty things to try. Soooooooooo many recipes in one book. I love the appendix and the first couple of chapters before the drinks. It really shows understanding of a full audience. I like the completeness of that intent. I do wish that in the herbal intentions section it listed page numbers of drinks with those herbs in them. When looking at the index it's difficult to know which drinks have what herbs and thus what intent of you're going that route. I think I will probably make a cheat sheet bookmark of some sort listing it myself at some point. That is going to take some dedication though as there's are THAT many recipes. Love the syrups section. The only thing I took a star away for was the cheapness feel of the pages. They are not cut well and are all different sizes. I really don't think it's meant to be like that. Maybe it is because they are hard to turn pages because of the thinned and type of paper but the edges are just so rough like perforated paper almost. It may only bother the most picky. It's an amazing boom for its price point based on the content.

This book is brilliant in both style and form, and has some of the most creative, insightful, meaningful, delicious cocktail recipes I’ve ever seen in print! :) Bravo.Great as a gift, or to treat yourself. I gave my first copy away as a gift, and need to now purchase another. :)

Love this book! I am neither a witch nor do I drink more than an occasional something socially, but I am interested in natural processes and being in alignment with the needs of our bodies and our world. This book includes mostly alcoholic drinks, but also a good number of non-alcoholic ones, like the spiced cider called "The Witch's Offering" and the hot cocoa "Restoring Chocolate Lux." I am going to be trying those as soon as this hot weather turns.What this book does that I admire most is weaving the components of the drinks to what is in season. Some of the ingredients are beyond my liquor (and kitchen) cabinet, but I know that the next time we have an event at our house, I will be going to this book to find an appropriate drink. Each recipe briefly discusses the meaningfulness of the drink and its ingredients to a greater purpose and includes an "Advanced Magic" option. As I said, I am not into witchcraft or casting spells, but they are fun to read.The book is incredibly comprehensive as well. It gives the reader a "Bartending Basics" and a "Witchcraft Basics" section just detailed enough to keep the reader interested and engaged. I especially liked learning interesting facts about crystals, herbs, and many foods. The presentation is beautiful, and the photos inspire a person eager to try his/her hand at becoming a bar master. I recommend this book!

Gave as a gift, my sister loved this

A book full of ideas, well organized and easy to consult. A different approach to magick, a new way to practice while having fun and… why not… involving friends and partners! These cocktails teach to Italian palates not ordinary tastes and mixes! Highly recommended

This book has sound advice for the beginner cocktail afficionado/a, great recipes for the more experienced mixer, and does double duty as a coffee table book with its lovely pictures (in case you‘re too lazy to mix the actual drinks).What‘s not to like?

This is really good

The product arrived earlier than expected but unfortunately damaged in the edges, an unpleasant surprise since it was taken to be a gift.
