From the regal gin cocktail ‘The Cecil Beaton’ to the experimental, colourful ‘CMYK Fizz’ inspired by Yevonde, and the award-winning dirty martini McBean cocktail, these fabulous drinks evoke bygone eras and the spirit of London’s West End. Following an introduction to Larry’s Bar and its namesake, Laurence Olivier, the book showcases bespoke cocktails, telling the stories behind their inspiration, ingredients and design. Each story is illustrated with images of each drink and portraits of iconic figures from the National Portrait Gallery.
