An Illustrated Guide to Cocktails is featured on Design*Sponge!

"I’ve never been a big drinker, but I love the trappings of cocktail culture. Creating a home bar (wait until you see Amy’s home bar in the D*S book!) has always been an obsession of mine, and it was so hard to pass up the vintage chinoiserie bar I saw at Brimfield this year. So while I may not drink enough to warrant cocktail accessories, I still love looking at them (and watching them being made).

An Illustrated Guide to Cocktails was illustrated and published by Elizabeth Graeber, along with author Orr Shtuhl. The artwork is so perfect that it makes me want to try a number of concoctions I’ve only heard about from friends who frequent fancy bars. Elizabeth and Orr self-published this book and are selling it on Etsy, so I’m always happy to support people publishing great books on their own. Click here to check out the book in full and pick up a copy online. xo, grace"

*We’re posting an abbreviated schedule today (Biz Ladies and City Guides will resume later this week) in preparation for the debut of the D*S book and book trailer at 11! Stay tuned . . .

CALLING ALL ARTISTS:

According to Joseph Beuys "Everyone is an artist". The Paper Collective is a call to one's inner artist - aspiring or otherwise - to follow your creativity and do so with reckless abandon. The act will lead to new discoveries, personal awakenings and all-around innovation. Each month we'll present a Paper Project to exercise your imagination. Our mission is simple...inspire creativity daily. Draw more. Write more.Explore more.

You're invited to participate in our 1st official Paper Project entitled 'The Self-Portrait'. Painting, drawing, photography, baking, writing, performance - we welcome all ideas - as long as it goes with the self-portrait concept.

Please submit your masterpiece by April 2nd to: thepapercollective@gmail.com

All work will be featured on the soon-to-be launched site:

side car

2011-02-21T23:11:00.000-05:00

Cocktails are one of the truly American art forms, classic as jazz or baseball (the artistic merits of which are a whole nother book). But one of the most important cocktails ever invented comes not only from abroad, but from an American nationalist’s hell: France. The sweet-tart brandy mixture was first shaken up at the Ritz Hotel in Paris in World War I, designed for a odd serviceman who commuted exclusively by sidecar. Asymmetrical cycle-cars may not be for everyone, but if you commit just one cocktail to memory, make it this one. The sidecar’s proportion of spirit + orange liqueur + citrus juice is the founding formula for an entire phylum of cocktails, including the margarita, kamikaze, and cosmopolitan, the latter of which is delectable when made with proper ingredients and not rashly abbreviated.
