Ryan Chetiyawardana releases first cocktail book

Famed mixologist and bar owner Ryan Chetiyawardana has launched his first cocktail recipe book, called Good Things to Drink with Mr Lyan & Friends.

White Lyan owner Ryan Chetiyawardana has launched his first cocktail recipe book

Chetiyawardana, otherwise known as Mr Lyan, has risen through the world’s mixology ranks with roles at Purl and 69 Colebrook Row, and opening bars including White Lyan and Dandelyan.

Good Things to Drink contains 60 recipes ranging from pre-batched cocktails to serve at large parties, to hot and classic serves.

Said to show how “cocktails can become part of your everyday life”, the book claims that making cocktails at home is the “next step in the foodie revolution”.

Last year, Chetiyawardana opened Dandelyan – a botany-inspired bar – inside London’s Mondrian hotel.

This followed the launch of Hoxton-based White Lyan in 2013, a venue which specialises in pre-bottled cocktails and does not serve drinks with ice or citrus.

Good Things to Drink with Mr Lyan & Friends has been published by Frances Lincoln Publishers and will be available in hardback from 1 October 2015 at an RRP of £20.
