Slow Drinks will be the definitive botanist’s guide to mixology that can live in your basket on a foraging trip, or on the coffee table as a conversation piece. Organized by season, Slow Drinks demonstrates how to make drinks that tell a story of botany, history, culture, and terroir, while honoring beverage traditions both old and new. Each season will highlight eight new ingredients with recipes that build on a basics chapter and teach readers how to interchangeably use master recipes to make their own meads, country wines, beers, sodas, tinctures, shrubs, and more.

This book is for bartenders, do-it-yourselfers, foodies, homesteaders, home-brewers, food activists, and anyone looking to dive into the world of botanical drink making.
