从金色的冰块到黄昏的炭粉：以日落为灵感的鸡尾酒配方，让这个特殊时刻充满活力

本书邀请读者将品尝精心调配的鸡尾酒转变为“在喝落日”的感觉。2020年，法国艺术家、建筑师纪尧姆·奥布里（Guillaume Aubry，生于1982年）请驻巴黎的知名美国调酒师斯德林·哈德森（Sterling Hudson）将他对日落的艺术研究转化为鸡尾酒配方。基于奥布里的研究和哈德森的专业知识，《日落鸡尾酒》展示了12种灵感来自日落之美的鸡尾酒，从令人目眩的“金珠”（其中的藏红花冰块浸入苦艾酒后就会发出金色的光芒）到 “盛夜”（一种液体日落，在清脆的伏特加酒中注入一抹炭粉）。

本书用豪华的全彩照片展示了鸡尾酒和日落，鼓励读者在艺术史的大背景下把调酒当作一种创造性的表达形式；除了奥布里自己黄昏主题写作外，日本诗人关口良子（Ryoko Sekiguchi）还提供了一个醒目的后记，让读者同时体验美感和味觉。本书小型、易读，以独特的诗歌风格呈现了奥布里和哈德森的合作，鼓励读者反思社会与日落的关系，以及我们对日常美好时刻的集体审美体验，无论是日落、花式鸡尾酒，还是两者皆有。

From golden ice cubes to crepuscular charcoal dust: sunset-

inspired cocktail recipes to enliven that special hour

This book is an invitation to transform the simple contemplation of a well-mixed cocktail into a sensory experience of "drinking the sunset." In 2020, French artist and architect Guillaume Aubry (born 1982) asked the celebrated Paris-based American mixologist Sterling Hudson to translate his artistic research on sunsets into cocktail recipes. Based on Aubry's research and Hudson's expertise, Sunset Cocktails presents 12 cocktails inspired by the beauty of a sunset, from the dazzling "Regulus," whose saffron ice cube glows gold once submerged in vermouth, to the "Grand Soir," a liquid sunset that infuses a dusting of charcoal into a crisp glass of vodka.

With luxurious full-

color photographs of the cocktails and the sunsets that inspired them, this volume encourages readers to consider mixology as a creative form of expression in the larger context of art history; in addition to Aubry's own writing on the subject, Japanese poet Ryoko Sekiguchi provides a luminous afterword to prepare readers' imaginations for an aesthetic and gustatory experience. A small-

format, easily accessible volume, Sunset Cocktails presents Aubry and Hudson's collaboration with a uniquely poetic flair, encouraging readers to reflect upon society's relationship with sunsets and our collective aesthetic experience of quotidian moments of beauty, whether those manifest as a sunset, a fancy cocktail, or both.
