The Drunken Botanist: The Plants that Create the World's Great Drinks by Amy Stewart, Amy Stewart

5.0

A really good reference work on the plants that are used to make the adult beverages we love. It also has drink recipes featuring the adult beverages in question. It goes even further to add guidelines on how to grow the plants, if you've a green thumb. Past the initial read through, I'd imagine it would be dipped into as topics/plants of interest came to mind. I also appreciated the fact that Stewart wrote the book to be understood by the non-botanist layperson (e.g., me), and will look into reading more of her work.

Edited to add: Stewart's love of the plants and the drinks comes through in the writing, which is also a definite plus.
