The Fashionable Cocktail

A deliciously illustrated fashion-oriented cocktail book with a drink for every taste. Fashionable Cocktails is the cocktail book for the switched-on individual who loves trends and fashion. Are you a vintage lover or a dedicated follower of the latest fashions? Jane Rocca knows that each cocktail concoction has its own distinct character and style; the trick is to harness the right drink for the right individual. Each chapter profiles a personality type (among them The Fashionista, The Bohemian Girl, The Vintage Girl, and of course, the girl who loves the classic cocktail dress) and offers a delectable selection of cocktail recipes to suit each one. Need something quick to knock back while deciding what to wear on a night out? Or something to sip with the girls on a big night in? With its über-stylish aesthetic, Fashionable Cocktails offers a unique alternative to your everyday cocktail book, and Neryl’s bright and beautiful illustrations—both mischievous and elegant—capture the spirit of every spirit. Whether your style is haute couture or homemade, instant gratification or intricate, Fashionable Cocktails has the drink for you.
