In official partnership with Downton Abbey and with 50 stunning
photographs featuring stills from across the series and right up to
the latest film release, this collection of 70 delicious cocktail
recipes is a lavish toast to the glamorous world of the Crawleys.
With a foreword by Julian Fellowes, the writer and creator of
Downton Abbey, and an introduction by food historian Annie Gray,
this curated selection of recipes spans the world of Downton, from
drawing-room party drinks to downstairs hangover cures and more. In
addition to classic concoctions like a Mint Julep, Prince of Wales
Punch and Ginger Beer, this collection features character-specific
twists such as Downton Heir, Turkish Attache, The Valet and The
Chauffeur. With a brief history of each drink and peppered with
quotes from Downton characters, the recipes are organized by the
places the drinks were served: The library (stirred drinks and
after-dinner drinks) The grounds (refreshing drinks) The great hall
(party drinks) The drawing room (pre-dinner drinks and hangover
helpers) The village (everyday drinks) Photographed using the
original lead crystal used on set, each cocktail is guaranteed to
raise your spirits, whether by channeling the verve of Lady Mary,
the wit of Violet Crawley or the plain speaking of Mrs Patmore.
With these cocktails, relish the rich traditions and flavours of
Downton Abbey without end.
