WELCOME

If you’ve fallen in love with romantasy and long to bring some of that glittering dark magic – and smut – into your real life, this book can help. Transport yourself to a magical realm by mixing drinks inspired by your favourite tropes, characters and settings. Romantasy Cocktails has a libation to suit every taste – whether it’s wicked or wonderful.

Those hankering for a wintery fae realm, look no further than a Woods in Winter (page 29). If you’re yearning for a dark and brooding lover who goes completely feral at the thought of someone else laying a finger on you, make yourself a Shadow Daddy (page 45), a Jaw Flexer (page 91) or a Feeling Territorial (page 25). Long to be swept off your feet by a fine fae lord or lady? Shake up a Starlight Pool (page 21), a Kiss in a Rose Garden (page 87) or a Summer Ball Sangria (page 132). For the dragon obsessed, there are spiced cocktails that billow smoke like Dragon’s Breath (page 50). Fans of werewolves and shifters will love a Pack House Punch (page 127) or a Serpent’s Smile (page 76). While those who long to be bitten by a vampire should check out the recipe for a Sangarita (page 53) or Bite My Lip (page 84). And would-be witches can brew their own potions and impress their spicy book–loving friends with their newfound powers – check out Glamour Potion (page 34).

If you’re new to making cocktails at home, the opening chapters explain techniques and equipment that will help get you started. Then all you need to do is pick your dream scenario, preferred ingredients and then mix a drink to match.

Choose Your Glasses

Coupes ensure you breathe in the drink’s aromas every time you take a sip. Old-fashioned glasses, also known as double-rock lowballs, are great for building drinks in the glass. The following glasses are best suited to the cocktails in this book. The sizing below is an average collected from a few different sources; the accuracy of the measurements will depend on where you live.

Highball & Collins Glasses

Highballs and collins glasses are tall, chimney-shaped glasses. The difference is that highballs are thinner and smaller. They’re usually
