This beautiful book has been laying around the house for years, and it never occurred to me to paint it. Then once I started painting it, of course, I wondered what the hell I was thinking. The cover is so busy! But in the end, that helped rather than hurt. After struggling with the title lettering, I started putting in all the frilly green stuff, and it seemed to come together.
The drink happens to be a Corpse Reviver 2. It's a favorite classic recipe included in my own first illustrated cocktail book, which is not nearly so fancy as the one in the painting.
