What it is

A book to pour beside.

Four seasonal chapters, fifteen cocktails apiece. Each pairs with a conversation prompt — questions worth asking the people across the table, and the ones beside you.

Photographed by candlelight. Set in long evenings. Designed to sit out — on the coffee table, near the decanter, within reach when the second pour calls for a question.

Inside the book

Three parts. One long evening.

  1. No. 01

    Part one

    Sixty cocktails.

    Fifteen drinks for each season. Recipes you can keep up with after the second pour — clear method, honest measurements, garnish notes that matter.

  2. No. 02

    Part two

    Sixty conversations.

    Beside every cocktail, a question. Some quiet, some unguarded. Made to be asked at the table, never read on a screen.

  3. No. 03

    Part three

    Notes from the room.

    Small essays on hosting in the in-between hours — the lighting, the music, the second invitation. For the friends you haven't met yet.

Why this book

Most drinks books teach you what to pour. This one asks who you're pouring it for.

The cocktail is the invitation. The conversation is the night. Each recipe earns its place by being worth slowing down for — and by giving the table something to talk about beyond the drink itself.

The format

Designed to sit out.

Linen-wrapped boards, brass-foil spine, ribbon marker. Heavy uncoated paper that takes a fingerprint and a drop of bitters with grace.

260 pages. 9.5 by 11.5 inches. Printed in small batches, numbered inside the cover. The kind of book you don't put away.
