UNEASY ELIXIRS

Uneasy Elixirs : 50 Curious Cocktails Inspired by the Works of Edward Gorey - Virginia Miller - 9798886742398

Edward Gorey’s humorously macabre art has delighted readers for more than fifty years.

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Edward Gorey’s birth, and created in conjunction with his estate, Uneasy Elixirs presents a delectable collection of fifty Goreyesque potions, libations, nightcaps, and aperitifs.

For the first time ever, fans will be able to enjoy cocktails inspired by Gorey's characters and settings, such as :

• The Thumbfumble (inspired by The Curious Sofa)
• Miss Quartermourning’s Grief (inspired by The Other Statue)
• The B is for Basil Julep (inspired by The Gashlycrumb Tinies—yes, Gorey’s ghastly children get their tipples, too)
• The Q.R.V. No. 222, as well as one of Gorey’s personal favorite concoctions.

Illustrated with original art from the Gorey archives and with glorious photography of these curious cocktails, Uneasy Elixirs is the perfect gift for every tremulous tosspot and disquieted dipsomaniac who loves a slightly wicked spirit.
