Description

Learn how to make exquisite home-grown cocktails with the award-winning debut book from Lottie Muir.
Lottie Muir is the creator of the Midnight Apothecary pop-up cocktail bar, set in a roof garden in the heart of London, where she also grows many of the ingredients for her mixes. Moving from flowerbed to bar, she rustles up seasonal plant-powered cocktails, made with the harvest from her garden and from foraging trips. Starting with The Cocktail Cabinet, Lottie explains both gardening and cocktail-making basics. She tells you what botanicals you will need year-round, including edible flowers, and gives tips on getting the best from your growing space, as well as advice on foraging beyond your back garden. She also introduces you to basic equipment and techniques for making infusions and syrups as well as cocktails, and suggests garnishes. Then, in The Cocktail Elements, discover how to make a wide range of infusions, syrups, liqueurs, and bitters to use in the recipes for Garden Cocktails, Foraged Cocktails, and Mocktails and Restorative Cocktails. With delicious drinks such as the gorgeous Gorse Collins, Wild Cherry Rye Manhattan, and a Lavender Bee’s Knees, you will appreciate the flavors of the garden and the wild, with the kick of a cocktail.
