Overview

Iceland is a land full of volcanoes, glaciers, geysers, and theNorthern Lights, and home to a culture of inventive spirits,steeped in art, ingenuity, creativity, and a long history ofstorytelling. Of course, stories aren't limited to just beingtold with words. Just as often, stories are told with pictures.In Iceland, there is a tradition called "Drink & Draw," wherebar patrons enjoy a cocktail and draw a sketch based ona particular theme. The sketches are then collected andpublished in small booklets. Reyka Vodka has producedthis book to showcase its homeland through a collectionof drawings doodled while enjoying a cocktail, and thenphotographed by Icelandic photographer Snorri Sturluson.Icelandic culture is celebrated through the drawings andthrough a look at different elements that are uniquelyIcelandic-from the music and art, to the food, folklore, andnatural beauty that make Iceland, well, Iceland.
