I keep a close eye on new books on drinks (mostly cocktails and spirits rather than beer/wine), and I read most of them that come out every year. 

On this post I’ll keep track of them. I probably won’t include every cultural franchise tie-in cocktail book (Harry Potter, Star Wars, etc) but some. If you want to see books from 2024, check out:Thirty Four New Drink Books for Fall 2024 and The Best Drinks Books of 2024
