Cocktails, a Still Life 60 Spirited Paintings & Recipes

This is exactly what it sounds like: instead of photos or illustrations, this cocktail book is fully illustrated with oil paintings. Featuring an all-star team, Cocktails, A Still Life is less of a bartending guide and more of a presentation piece attracting the eye, mind, and palate focused squarely on the art-including the dozens of luscious, hand-painted images. As they say, "We drink first with our eyes." Contemporary still-life master Todd Casey has collected 60 paintings for 60 classic drink recipes, developed by Drinkology author James Waller, that are then paired with witty and imminently readable behind-the-bar anecdotes and histories by beverage historian Christine Sismondo. Broken down into sections, inspired by times and events that call for a cocktail, the book includes art, recipes, and history. Drinks include: Part One: Daytime Drinking* Belgian Beers* Bellini* Bloody Mary* Mojito* Ramos Gin FizzPart Two: Aperitivo Hour* Aperol Spritz* Daiquiri* Gimlet* Gin & Tonic* SgroppinoPart Three: Cocktail Party* Cosmopolitan* Long Island Iced Tea* Mai Tai* Negroni* Vieux CarréPart Four: Celebration* Egg Nog* French 75* Margarita* Mezcal and Sangrita* Mint JulepPart Five: After Dinner/Nightcap* Boulevardier* Brandy Alexander* Grasshopper* Irish Coffee* Sake Both a sophisticated gift and a useful cocktail-making guide, Cocktails, A Still Life is not just for "cocktail nerds" but also for those who enjoy finely crafted art and finely crafted beverages.
