Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Todd Wilbur has made a career out of his Top Secret Recipes series, dissecting popular recipes from America's favorite restaurant chains and presenting the results to eager home cooks. Top Secret Recipes: Sodas, Smoothies, Spirits, and Shakes continues the theme, offering homemade approximation recipes to satisfy the craving and expectations of the thirsty reader looking for a brand-name fix. Wilbur presents a host of potables to create at home, including sodas such as 7-Up and A&W root beer, brand mixtures such as Orange Julius, and even signature adult drinks from a variety of restaurant chains including Chili's, Hard Rock Cafe, and Red Lobster. But Wilbur offers more than just the genetic code to these concoctions: he provides interesting anecdotes on the origin of the beverages as well as humorous, but necessary, warnings about the various alcohol-infused drinks included. He's even dedicated a chapter to the home version of popular (and expensive) spirits such as Bailey's Irish Cream and Grand Marnier. For convenience and economy, this addition to the Top Secret collection offers a truly satisfying alternative, saving readers a trip to Starbucks for that addictive Frappuccino. --Teresa Simanton

5.0 out of 5 stars Todd has another hit!, May 30, 2002
By 
This review is from: Top Secret Recipes: Sodas, Smoothies, Spirits, & Shakes (Mass Market Paperback)
I bought this book based on the fact that I LOVE all of the Top Secret Recipe books published and this one has to be in the top 3. Everything I've tried, my family and I have loved. One of my personal favorites is the [blended coffee drink]. However, the other drinks are just as good.

If you are a Top Secret Recipe fan, this is a must have or even if you are just looking for a new recipe book for beverages, try this one. I know you won't regret it. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Save money and make it at home, January 22, 2009
This review is from: Top Secret Recipes: Sodas, Smoothies, Spirits, & Shakes (Mass Market Paperback)
This recipe book is really cool. It has loads of fun recipes to try at home. Some are better than others. The Starbucks Frappuccino recipe is amazing. It doesn't really taste like Starbucks but is very good in its own way. Some of the recipes aren't very practical like making Coca-Cola. There are many ingredients and it would cost you more to make it than to buy it at the store.
