“I’ve been a fan of Downton Abbey for years, and it’s become an annual tradition for me to revisit the series with a springtime binge. There’s just something about returning to the world of the Crawley family—the elegance, the wit, the quiet drama of life both upstairs and down—that makes me want a refined cocktail. The recipes featured here were found in my copy of The Official Downton Abbey Cocktail Book, which pairs the show’s upper class atmosphere with drinks that feel right at home in its world. My hope is that you’ll find a recipe or two to mix up during your own rewatch, adding a little Edwardian flair to your time at Downton.”
