Cocktails with a Curator Book

From the curators at The Frick Collection, we are enthralled by this experiential art and cocktail book pairing intriguing behind-the-scenes stories and engaging histories from works within the Frick's collection with creatively inspired libations. The result is an armchair adventure in art history as interpreted through the lens of this esteemed New York institution.

Based on the critically acclaimed video series of the same name, with 65 thought-provoking chapters on paintings, sculpture, furniture, and porcelain, Cocktails with a Curator, offers insights into the stories and history behind the art. A worthy addition to any art connoisseur or mixologist library, this creative book is an captivating and innovative way to enjoy the treasures of a world-renowned art collection.

Each chapter is accompanied by the recipe for a complementary cocktail: Ingres’s portrait of the Comtesse d’Haussonville, for example, is paired with a Jaded Countess - absinthe, vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup; while Holbein’s iconic painting of Thomas More, who famously clashed with Henry VIII, is combined with a Bloody Mary named for Henry’s Catholic eldest daughter Mary, dubbed with this dreaded moniker by her Protestant opponents. A witty and intoxicating tome that is sure to tickle the mind and tantalize the tongue, Cocktails with a Curator promises to add new dimension to both your art appreciation and cocktail repertoire.
