In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Edward Gorey’s birth, the Edward Gorey Charitable Trust and Virginia Miller present Uneasy Elixirs: a delectable collection of fifty Goreyesque potions, libations, nightcaps, and apéritifs. For the first time ever, fans will be able to enjoy cocktails inspired by Gorey's characters and settings, such as the Thumbfumble (inspired by The Curious Sofa), Miss Quartermourning’s Grief (inspired by The Other Statue), the B is for Basil Julep (inspired by The Gashlycrumb Tinies), and Q.R.V. No. 222; as well as one of Gorey’s personal favorite concoctions. Illustrated with original artwork from the Gorey archives accompanied by glorious photography of these curious cocktails, Uneasy Elixirs is the perfect gift for every tremulous tosspot and disquieted dipsomaniac who loves a slightly wicked spirit.
