Classic Vodka Cocktails Print

In Cocktail, Vodka Mixes You!

Vodka gets a lot of side eye from bartenders of a certain sort. Flavorless, odorless, and colorless, some mixologists consider it a coarse addition of alcohol, adding no character of its own to a drink. But I think that's the wrong way to think of it.

In a cocktail, vodka is the worker that makes it all work. It does the heavy lifting for more glamorous ingredients, allowing their unique flavors to stand out. In a Mule, Vodka whispers, "Do your thing, ginger beer. It would be a shame to compete with your signature spice." In a Cosmo, it says softly, "Shine on, cranberry juice. Your color is what matters tonight." It's admirable, really.

Classic Vodka Cocktails celebrates vodka in a frameable* 11 x 14 inch (28 x 36 cm) guide to creating nine classic vodka cocktails, distilled into a simple, attractive print that's perfect for hanging in your home bar, cocktail den, dacha, or kitchen.

It's décor for the discriminating drinker and suits nearly any style. It makes a perfect pairing with my cocktail notebook, 33 Cocktails.

Barrel-Finished and -Framed

This print is available in a bespoke frame manufactured by yours truly from upcycled whiskey and/or wine barrels. Each one is a bit different, and makes for a great conversation starter. With this option, prints are matted and secured behind an archival, USA-made mat and backerboard and postman-proof. UV-resistant acrylic sheet.

Please note that barrel frames cannot be shipped to Australia or New Zealand due to import restrictions on wood products.

Fresh-Pressed in Portland

This open-edition print was printed by hand, with love, on a gluten-powered 1909 Chandler & Price letterpress using mostly soy-based inks.

American-made French Paper

The poster is printed on 100% recycled (30% PCW), chlorine-free French brand paper, made in Niles, Michigan. If you're as big a paper nerd as you are a cocktail nerd, you'll want to know that it's 125# Muscletone in Starch White Cover Stock.
