If cocktails had personalities, and letโ€™s be honest, they do, Matteo Marzagalli just captured their glam alter egos.

His minimalist illustrations turn martinis, Negronis, and spritzes into sleek, glowing characters who look like they spend their weekends lounging on terrazzo countertops.

Each lovely drink gets stripped down to its stylish skeleton with a dramatic glass outline, a juicy splash of color, and the tiniest wink of garnish.

And somehow, it works. You instantly know what youโ€™re looking at, even though half the details have left on permanent vacation.

The gradients glow like mood lighting at a bar you definitely canโ€™t afford. The shapes are so clean they would pass a white-glove test.

And the whole series gives off the energy of cocktails that are fully aware of how good they look.

Itโ€™s design. Itโ€™s mixology. Itโ€™s a vibe.

And honestly, it might make you want to redesign your entire bar cart.
