Cecil Beaton's Cocktail Book

Step into a world of perfectly lit cheekbones, scandalous parties, and cocktails mixed with ambition. Cecil Beaton—legendary British photographer, society darling, and all-around arbiter of glamour—didn’t just document the Bright Young Things of the 1920s and ’30s. He was one.

This delightfully compact cocktail book pays homage to Beaton’s glittering circle of artists, aristocrats, writers, and rebels, pairing his world of elegance and excess with recipes inspired by the drinks of the era. Classic cocktails like the Negroni, Manhattan, Hanky Panky, and Sidecar are refreshed with modern flair by a master mixologist, proving that good taste—much like good gossip—never goes out of style.

Part fashion history, part cocktail recipe book, and entirely charming, this is the sort of book that improves both your bar cart and your cultural credentials. Best enjoyed with excellent lighting and even better company.
