    Situated in the literary heart of Saint-Germain, Cravan is a true bar Américain, and this recipe book of cocktails and bar bites captures the essence of Parisian cool.

    Audoux opened a small bar Américain in 2019 at the foot of a landmark Hector Guimard building in the sixteenth arrondissement that has since become the watering hole for people in the know. Hailed by The New York Times for elevating “the cocktail to the level of high liquid gastronomy and does so with elegance and simplicity,” Cravan is essential to any Parisian barhop.

    Built around the legend of the Swiss surrealist Arthur Cravan—nephew to Oscar Wilde, poet, writer, troll, and sometime pugilist, Cravan has since expanded from its original twenty-seat location to a five-story new location.

    Included here are recipes for a few dozen cocktails, with fresh takes on the classics like the Tom Collins and the French 75, as well as inspired creations such as the Tunnel, the Archi, the Luco, and the Lady from Shanghai, and contemporary tips and tricks that make them easy to re-create at home.

    The food offerings feature bar-bite recipes curated by culinary titans and new bistronomy auteurs alike. Perfect for lovers of history and French culture, this book captures the spirit and culture of the City of Light and is a must-have for the aspiring and experienced home mixologist and chef alike.
    Franck Audoux is a restauranteur, barman, historian, and the creative director of Cravan. He was a founding member of the restaurants Chateaubriand and Dauphin in Paris. Vincent Chaperon is the caviste of Dom Pérignon.
