Having a cocktail bar isn't as fun if you and your guests aren't sure what's on hand or how to make it. Enter the home cocktail menu and recipe book.
I researched and painstakingly (haha) tested recipes with my husband to slowly stock the bar. Once we had our favorites, I illustrated a house menu, layed it out in InDesign, printed it on waterproof paper, and have since enjoyed many an occasion with guests making me excellent cocktails.
Scope:
Personal Project
My Role:
- Bar Design
- Menu Illustration & Design
- Recipe Testing :)
Outcomes:
- Aloha Friday
I designed the bar as part of the Kailea House Project.
The menu leans on rum drinks with a tiki-ish vibe, but also includes a section with some simple classics. That allowed me to stock the bar with a specific selection that works well for both sections.
