It is a distillate of the stories behind the mixes that are known the world over, written by Ramón Úbeda and drawn by Javirroyo, and also explains how Archie makes them at the Dos Billares club at the Casa Camper hotel in Barcelona. It is an illustrated book of recipes for long drinks, short drinks and drinks for everyone, and aims solely to continue to promote the art of cocktail making, but in a more fun, friendly way that makes them easier to remember. They are served with appetisers of alcoholic anecdotes and notes, interlinked with all sorts of figures who inhabit the city that has for many years been our country’s creative powerhouse.
