A few years ago, we proudly brought our beautifully illustrated Cocktail Book to market, with recipes developed both internally, as well as by some of the world’s best bartenders. In recent months, many of you have shared with us the ways in which you’re using your bartending skills to make Seedlip cocktails at home. Thus, we’re excited to embark on another book together.
Today, we open submissions for recipes to fill the pages of what will be our second recipe book: Seedlip: Cocktails at Home. This digital e-book will be made available for free download via seedlipdrinks.com. Even if you’ve sent us a recipe in the past, please formally submit your cocktail recipe and photo via this form.
Here are all the details you need to submit your recipe for consideration:
Step I: Ideate your Seedlip cocktail recipe–the ingredients, method & name are important!
Step II: Craft your cocktail.
Step III: Photograph the drink following our guidelines below.
Step IV: Submit your recipe and photos via the form here.

Submission Requirements

• Your email address [will not be made publicly available]
• Your Instagram handle [if any]
• Three cocktail images [see photography guidelines below]
• A short description of what inspired your cocktail [50 word limit]
Photography Guidelines
Cocktail photography is a particular skill. Here are some tips for taking better drink images at home:
• Ensure your cocktail is the focal point. Avoid overcrowding your image and be sure to leave some space for cropping and editing.
• Style your photos with elements of home. Ceramics, glassware, cutting boards, also freshly cut plants, flowers or fruit work well.
• We love a human element, too, like hands and arms holding or pouring drinks. But, make this about the cocktail–please don’t snap a selfie with your drink.
• Give us context. Make use of your environment–living room, garden, kitchen, bar–as nonfocal aspects of the overall composition.
• Please ensure you submit a JPEG, PNG or TIFF file that does not exceed 100 MB.
