The Drunken Botanist

In this book Amy Stewart takes you on a tour of the plants that fuel our favorite drinks, from barley in your beer to agave in your tequila. It’s part history lesson, part science deep-dive, with a dash of cocktail wisdom thrown in. She uncovers the stories behind the grains, fruits, and herbs that have been turned into booze over the centuries. With recipes and gardening tips, it’ll have you seeing your next drink of choice in a whole new light.
