Through this horticultural lens, a mixed drink becomes a cornucopia of plants.”―NPR's Morning Edition “Amy Stewart has a way of making gardening seem exciting, even a little dangerous.” ―The New York Times Sake began with a grain of rice. Scotch emerged from barley, tequila from agave, rum from sugarcane, bourbon from corn. Thirsty yet? In The Drunken Botanist, Amy Stewart explores the dizzying array of herbs, flowers, trees, fruits, and fungi that humans have, through ingenuity, inspiration, and sheer desperation, contrived to transform into alcohol over the centuries.Of all the extraordinary and obscure plants that have been fermented and distilled, a few are dangerous, some are downright bizarre, and one is as ancient as dinosaurs―but each represents a unique cultural contribution to our global drinking traditions and our history.This fascinating concoction of biology, chemistry, history, etymology, and mixology―with more than fifty drink recipes and a new section on how to grow your very own cocktail garden―will make you the most popular guest at any cocktail party. Review: TDB - A good book with great cocktails through botany Review: Brilliant present and a great read - What started as a fun present idea turned out to be the most read and referenced book in our house during a big family gathering this Christmas. A sure-fire winning gift, or read it yourself, for anyone interested in the raw materials - from flavouring to bulk ingredients - behind drinks from around the world. Also of practical interest to gardeners, botanists - even economists, with some interesting insights on innovative uses for local crop resources. Some reviewers seem to have marked it down for quirky design and smallish text, but it's all the more charming for it in my opinion.
