Cocktails, a Still Life
Description
As they say, "We drink first with our eyes." If you believe there is an art to drinking well, then pairing cocktail recipes with still-life oil paintings is a natural next step. Still-life artist Todd M. Casey, journalist Christine Sismondo, and author James Waller are the all-star team behind Cocktails, A Still Life. Bringing together 60 of Casey's contemporary hand-painted images paired with dozens of delicious cocktail recipes, the three-author team offers a satisfying deep-dive into each drink complete with a great classic cocktail recipe and a painted representation. Each drink tells a story, making this a truly unique cocktail-making guide attracting the eye, mind, and palate, and focused squarely on the art. Drinks include:
- Mai Tai
- Gimlet
- Bloody Mary
- Mojito
- French 75
- Ramos Gin Fizz
- Mint Julep
Both a beautiful masterpiece and a useful guide, Cocktails, A Still Life is not just for "cocktail nerds," but also for those who enjoy finely crafted art and finely crafted beverages.
