DRESSED TO SWILL by Jennifer Croll (Prestel £9.99, 144pp)

- LILLY SUBBOTIN

COCO CHANEL once said: ‘I only drink champagne on two occasions: when I am in love and when I am not.’ It seems appropriat­e, then, that this book, which offers 60 ‘runway-ready’ cocktail recipes inspired by 20th-century fashion icons, names Coco’s favourite tipple as Lillet Blanc; champagne and creme de violette, garnished with a sprig of French lavender. Pairing quirky illustrati­ons with fun details about their subject’s life — during her unrepentan­t party-girl era, Kate Moss was nicknamed ‘The Tank’, a reference to how much vodka she could drink — Dressed To Swill will help you channel your inner fashionist­a while discoverin­g new, delicious drinks.
