This book is written by New York Times bestselling author Michael Ruhlman and illustrated by Marcella Kriebel.  Ruhlman applies the principles of his innovative book Ratio—about the relationships of ingredients to each other—in this delightful back-to-basics cocktail book, sharing the simple recipes and fundamental techniques that make for delicious and satisfying libations.

Did you know that a Gimlet, a Daiquiri, and a Bee’s Knees are the same cocktail? As are a Cosmopolitan, a Margarita, and a Sidecar. When hosting a party wouldn’t you enjoy saying to your guests, “Would you care for a Boulevardier, perhaps, or a Negroni?” These, too, are the same cocktail, substituting one ingredient for another. Or if you’d like to be able to shake up a batch of whiskey sours for a party of eight in fewer than two minutes, then read on.

As Michael Ruhlman explains, our most popular cocktails are really ratios—proportions of one ingredient relative to the others. Organized around five of our best-known, beloved, classic families of cocktails, each category follows a simple ratio from which myriad variations can be built: The Manhattan, The Gimlet, The Margarita, The Negroni, and the most debated cocktail ever, The Martini.

A practical reference of cocktail classics, a source of inspiration for putting a new spin on the usual gin and tonic, and an affable tribute to the pleasures of the cocktail hour, The Book of Cocktail Ratios shows you how to serve up delectable drinks in no time. Cheers!

This cocktail art print features select illustrations from The Book of Cocktail Ratios, written by Michael Ruhlman. The diverse array of drinks labeled in unique hand lettering includes popular cocktails like the Manhattan and the Negroni as well as lesser-known classics such as the Martinez and the Ramos Gin Fizz. The vibrant colors and intricate details of these watercolor paintings adds a touch of elegance and fun to any space.

This Cocktail Ratios Coaster Set of 7 is perfect for taking your cocktail-making game to the next level and infusing some art into your bar setup! The coasters feature an original ratio wheel illustration by Marcella comprised of the recipes for seven major cocktail families, developed by author Michael Ruhlman in The Book of Cocktail Ratios.

Each coaster represents a series, including Manhattan, Negroni, Margarita, Martini, Daiquiri, Highball, and Vodka + Juice Cocktails. These ratio wheels allow you to quickly and accurately measure out the perfect proportion of ingredients for each drink.

The coasters have a high gloss, durable enamel covering and a cork base. They're the perfect pairing for a bottle of spirits and a copy of The Book of Cocktail Ratios!

Manufactured in New York.

An Illustrated Collection of Recipes for Every Day Chefs

From Slow Cooked Pork to Avocado Pineapple Salad, Marcella's second book, Comida Cubana, beautifully illuminates a variety of Cuban Classics. Marcella traveled to Cuba in 2016 and cooked with over a dozen people on the island, sketching and recording her travels along the way. Her experiences unfold in the headnotes of every page and the book is comprised of over 100 distinctive hand drawn recipes in watercolor and pen and ink. 

Similar to her first book, Comida Cubana is an art piece and a cookbook in one, but dives deeper into the history and origin of recipes, and includes her vibrant watercolors on every page. 

"Marcella's bright, colorful illustrations really capture the heart and vibrancy of Cuban cuisine." ~José Garces, Restaurateur, Iron Chef
