Synopsis

DRINKS AND DOODLES IN THE COMPANY OF ICELAND'S FINEST COCKTAILS

Iceland is a land full of volcanoes, glaciers, geysers, and the Northern Lights, and home to a culture of inventive spirits, steeped in art, ingenuity, creativity, and a long history of storytelling.

Of course, stories aren't limited to just being told with words. Just as often, stories are told with pictures. In Iceland, there is a tradition called 'Drink & Draw,' where bar patrons enjoy a cocktail and draw a sketch based on a particular theme.

The sketches are then collected and published in small booklets. Reyka Vodka has produced this book to showcase its homeland through a collection of drawings doodled while enjoying a cocktail, and then photographed by Icelandic photographer Snorri Sturluson.

Icelandic culture is celebrated through the drawings and through a look at different elements that are uniquely Icelandic - from the music and art, to the food, folklore and natural beauty that make Iceland, well, Iceland.
