Critics Review
This new cocktail book by London’s Claridge’s hotel is inspired by the decadent Roaring 20s and chock full of recipes for the era’s most famous drinks. Photographs by the iconic 20th century photographer Cecil Beaton, who documented the high society Bright Young Things of the Jazz Age, run alongside the recipes, making this book as useful as it is collectible.– “Town & Country”
The book features classic and tweaked cocktail recipes, contributed by Claridge’s bar manager Denis Broci, which were inspired by Beaton’s social sphere (tag line: “mixing with the bright young things”). The book also includes Beaton’s photographs and archival Claridge’s illustrations, so you can almost feel like you were there to bear witness to the original revelry.–Kristin Tauer “WWD”
If you’re feeling thirsty rather than hungry, this is a glamorous creative option.–Francesca Gavin “Financial Times”
This Is the Ultimate Roaring 20s Cocktail Book.–Editors “Vogue”
