The Unofficial Disney Parks Drink Recipe Book is a Disney inspired drinks book with recipes developed by Ashley Craft. Due out 5th Oct 2021 from Simon & Schuster on their Adams Media imprint, it's 224 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats.

What an exuberant and fun book full of creatively concocted drinks. The layout is easy to understand and the drinks themselves are colorful and inventive. The introduction includes a lot of background info (including some neat trivia about themes and concession placements at Disney parks, origins and inspirations for drinks and other facilities, and a little history. The author has included a good beginner primer on bar tools and supplies. The drinks recipes (and there are a plethora) are arranged thematically: lemonades & fruity drinks, slushes, coffee tea hot chocolate & ciders, mocktails, cocktails, and dessert drinks.

Recipes have an introduction and explanation including some history, ingredients in a bullet point list, followed by step by step mixing directions. Ingredients are given with American standard measurements only (no metric). The ingredients will mostly be accessible at any well stocked grocery store ( -or liquor store for the boozy ingredients), although there are some ingredients which are more exotic and will require more diligence to acquire (such as dry ice). The drinks as pictured in the book are photographed in Disney proprietary glassware, though the author lists alternative presentations and serving suggestions. Roughly 25-30% of the drinks are accompanied by color photos.

There are a lot of very attractive recipes included here and the author has even included extensive colorful maps in an appendix, showing the locations of vendors in Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, and others. It would take a concerted effort to visit all of the theme parks and try all the drinks, but now it's easy to make them at home.

Five stars. Definitely one for the foodies.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
