What’s shakin, cocktail fans?
In this episode, we hang out with architect, illustrator, and cocktail buff Melissa Wood, who is partially responsible for one of the coolest cocktail books I’ve ever come across.
The book is called The Architecture of the Cocktail, and it portrays mixed drinks and their ingredients as if an architect drafted them on a blueprint.
