Uneasy Elixirs: 50 Cocktails Inspired by the Works of Edward Gorey
In a dim parlour where the curtains never quite sit straight, a tray of peculiar cocktails waits to be poured. Created in collaboration with the Edward Gorey estate to mark the centenary of his birth, Uneasy Elixirs gathers fifty original drinks inspired by his deliciously macabre world. From The Thumbfumble of The Curious Sofa to The B is for Basil Julep of The Gashlycrumb Tinies, each recipe pairs wit with a touch of theatrical gloom, accompanied by rare archival illustrations and lush photography. Gorey’s own favourite concoction makes an appearance, nestled among nightcaps and aperitifs worthy of Amphigorey and beyond. A handsome volume for evenings that lean ever so slightly toward the uncanny. Size: 19.05 x 2.05 x 24.15 cm (7.5 x 0.8 x 9.5 inches)
