From golden ice cubes to crepuscular charcoal dust: sunset-inspired cocktail recipes to enliven that special hour This book is an invitation to transform the simple contemplation of a well-mixed cocktail into a sensory experience of "drinking the sunset." In 2020, French artist and architect Guillaume Aubry (born 1982) asked the celebrated Paris-based American mixologist Sterling Hudson to translate his artistic research on sunsets into cocktail recipes.
A small-format, easily accessible volume, Sunset Cocktails presents Aubry and Hudson\'s collaboration with a uniquely poetic flair, encouraging readers to reflect upon society\'s relationship with sunsets and our collective aesthetic experience of quotidian moments of beauty, whether those manifest as a sunset, a fancy cocktail, or both..
With luxurious full-color photographs of the Cocktails and the sunsets that inspired them, this volume encourages readers to consider mixology as a creative form of expression in the larger context of art history; in addition to Aubry\'s own writing on the subject, Japanese poet Ryoko Sekiguchi provides a luminous afterword to prepare readers\' imaginations for an aesthetic and gustatory experience.
Based on Aubry\'s research and Hudson\'s expertise, Sunset Cocktails presents 12 Cocktails inspired by the beauty of a sunset, from the dazzling "Regulus," whose saffron ice cube glows gold once submerged in vermouth, to the "Grand Soir," a liquid Sunset that infuses a dusting of charcoal into a crisp glass of vodka.
