Grab your trusty cocktail shaker and the fanciest glass you own, and get ready to mix drinks and change lives!

Karmotrine Dream is a book of cocktail recipes reimagined as five friends' combined efforts to commemorate their trip to Glitch City (without access to all the synthetic ingredients you can find at VA-11 Hall-A). Each easy-to-follow recipe is accompanied by beautiful stylized photography as well as stories and helpful comment-section crosstalk from our intrepid zine-writers.

There are 25 recipes in all, plus eight mocktail variations, along with a glossary to help you read and recreate each one—from "Bad Touch" and "Frothy Water" to "Zen Star" and "Flaming Moai."

It was written, mixed, and photographed by Bryan Connor, a classically trained pastry chef and the author of Mother's Cookbook, with design and layout by Audrey Waner.

The recipes are playful but the drink notes actually work, and I've already made the citrus one twice for friends. What surprised me is how the five contributors' voices come through in the little margin tips.

Joshua A. ★★★★★ Oct 13, 2026

The five friends' notes scattered between recipes make this feel like a real collaboration rather than just another drink list. I've already flagged the smoked citrus one for my next dinner party, and the glassware suggestions are a nice touch I didn't expect.

I wasn't sure how a cocktail book could tell a story, but the recipes here actually feel like they belong to different personalities—the "Melancholy Martini" tastes exactly how I'd imagine a sad friend's drink.
