The Drunken Botanist
Sec says:
"The Drunken Botanist" Awesome title! I had no idea What was in most of the cocktails that I enjoy most! This is an encyclopedia of every liquor, and I gobbled it up wishing I was drinking what she was talking about the whole time. Read this book for the answer to "why do they call it proof?"! I'm not going to spoil it for you but I will just say the answer contains sailors, rum, gunpowder and fire! Great job Amy Stewart!! I will drink with you anytime!

I don't drink, but ...this book almost makes me wish I did, just so I could see for myself everything that the author is talking about.The book is a botanist's eye view of alcohol: the trees/plants/flowers/fruits/etc. used to make it, the history of it, where you find it, how to grow it...There's just so much information in this book - I learned a lot! A great book, even for the teetotalers among us!MoreLess
