Whatever the season, it is always a good idea to sit back and relax with a cocktail. In our latest Collective Shorts series, graphic designer Nick Barclay has created a stunning anthology of cocktails. This book combines classic recipes with new drink ideas into clear and defined sections.

After working on a bar industry magazine and being introduced to the world of cocktails, Nick realised that people love drinking cocktails but not many people know what goes into making them. The design for each cocktail breaks down the ingredients and measures and proportions these out. In this book we see a Nick’s signature style - clean, bold, yet minimal graphical design to showcase the drinks in an alternative and quirky way.

The aesthetic for this book is well-designed and the book is the perfect accompaniment for any recipe book collection, art book collection or to have fun with your friends in making some new cocktails.
