Not Even Bugs in Booze Can Diminish ‘The Drunken Botanist’s’ Charm and Wit


What’s your favorite cocktail? Or perhaps more importantly, at least for Amy Stewart author of The Drunken Botanist: The Plants that Create the World’s Great Drinks, what’s in your favorite cocktail? And Stewart doesn’t simply mean vodka, rum, or gin. She’s talking about things like honey, saffron, nutmeg, juniper, jalapeño, or sorghum. Stewart is quick to point out “Around the world, it seems, there is not a tree or shrub or delicate wildflower that has not been harvested, brewed, and bottled”.
