Description

Cecil Beaton's Cocktail Book brings to life the decadent drinks and glamorous gatherings of the Bright Young Things. This miniature cocktail book features recipes inspired by the era's most extravagant parties, reimagined with contemporary twists by the Head Bartender at Claridge's Hotel. Illustrated with Cecil Beaton's own photographs and witty drawings, this book is a must-have for every well-appointed bar cart. The recipes are accompanied by images of the artist's subjects, including celebrities and socialites from his famous Vogue magazine portraits. A unique blend of art, history, and mixology, Cecil Beaton's Cocktail Book is a fascinating look at a bygone era of elegance and excess.
