Description

A jaunt through the art-inspired cocktail menu from the National Portrait Gallery’s glamorous new speakeasy

Experience iconic works from the National Portrait Gallery’s Collection and the cocktails inspired by them in the menu for the gallery’s award-winning underground speakeasy, Larry’s, by the Daisy Green Collection. From the regal gin cocktail “The Cecil Beaton” to the experimental, colorful gin fizz “The Yevonde” and the award-winning “McBean” dirty martini, these fabulous cocktails evoke bygone eras and the creative spirit of London’s West End, which is known for its hub of creativity and pioneering jazz scene. This beautiful hardback publication begins with an introduction to Larry’s Bar and the story of its namesake, the actor Sir Laurence Olivier. It then showcases each of Larry’s bespoke cocktails, telling the stories behind their inspiration, ingredients and design. Each story is illustrated with portraits of iconic figures from the National Portrait Gallery’s Collection, ranging from Audrey Hepburn to Francis Bacon.
