DRINK LIKE A PSYCHO: Featuring cocktails inspired by the shocking and suspenseful moments from Hitchcock’s 50+ film career, this book captures the essence of some of cinema’s most iconic scenes.


FOR ALL SKILL LEVELS: Includes detailed, step-by-step instructions and mixology tips for both beginners and experienced cocktail lovers.



DRINKS AND BITES FOR EVERYONE: Features 30 cocktails—both alcoholic and non-alcoholic—paired with equally tasty, themed hors d’oeuvres and bar bites.

Each drink is, in my opinion, perfectly paired with its movie, highlighting the motifs without giving away any spoilers. I was genuinely surprised by how much I learned about Hitchcock’s filmmaking over the course of this volume. As someone who’s only passingly familiar with his body of work – and that primarily through cultural osmosis – I was deeply impressed with how Mr. Maslon displays its range. -- Doreen Sheridan * Criminal Element *
