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 Fizz Part Two: Aperitivo Hour *
Aperol Spritz * Daiquiri * Gimlet * Gin & Tonic * Sgroppino
Part Three: Cocktail Party * Cosmopolitan * Long Island Iced Tea *
Mai Tai * Negroni * Vieux Carre Part Four: Celebration * Egg Nog *
French 75 * Margarita * Mezcal and Sangrita * Mint Julep Part 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.
