America's Spirt, Mixed

Bourbon has been described as America's spirit. That may be because by law, you can't call it bourbon if it isn't made here, but I digress.* Similarly, cocktails are an essentially American invention.** I decided to combine the two in one attractive print, celebrating nine of my favorite pre-1950 bourbon cocktails. 

Classic Bourbon Cocktails is a frameable*** 11 x 14 inch (28 x 36 cm) guide to creating nine classic bourbon cocktails, distilled into a simple, attractive print that's perfect for hanging in your home bar or kitchen. I'll drink to that!

It's décor for the discriminating drinker and suits nearly any style. It makes a perfect pairing with my bourbon-tasting notebook,33 Whiskey's.

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 in your home bar, cooperage, or woodshop. 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 Vandercook 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 80# Dur-O-Tone in Newsprint Extra White Cover Stock. 

* And made of at least 51% corn, and aged in a new, charred-oak barrel and aged at least four years ... for a country whose brand is freedom, we have a lot of regulations about whiskey!
** Possibly because we were initially somewhat bad at making booze ... other ingredients covered up those mistakes.
