The Cocktail Garden: Botanical Cocktails for Every Season

The Cocktail Garden offers an entirely new approach to drinking, with cocktail recipes based around herbs, plants, fruit and flowers to sip along with the seasons. From springtime citrus flavours and summer's raspberries, lavendar and white peaches, to autumn's apples and winter's sage and thyme, the garden, orchard and herb box abound in drinking possibilities. There are drinks for long hot summer afternoons spent among flowers; wine spritzers for breezy evenings; champagne cocktails for celebrations; nightcaps for wintry nights by the fireside; and fruity party punches for days in the park. With beautiful and intricate illustrations from Adriana Picker, this cocktail collection will inspire you to create afresh.
