The Drunken Botanist: The Plants That Create The World's Great Drinks by Amy Stewart

5.0

This is a really interesting book about all the plants, herbs, trees and roots that go into making the booze we all love!
As a cocktail bartender, it helps you understand why things taste the way they do, and it gives you some great stories to tell while mixing drinks. There are a few myths busted here too...like the "fact" that Absinthe is poison/illegal.
This book covers everything from beer and ale, to tequila, to wine and champagne.
A fantastic book that I'd recommend to anyone with an interest in cocktail making, or in plants!
