Description: "Beverages are undergoing a renaissance. Before the days of sugary, pre-made mixers and sodas, drinks were carefully crafted from fresh, natural ingredients to be flavorful tonics that quenched thirst and healed the body. Today craft cocktailers, foragers, and fermenters alike are finding modern inspiration in the beverages of yesterday, creating handcrafted syrups, squashes, shrubs, switchels, oxymels, bitters, and influsions. It's garden (and forest and farmers' market) to glass. Using ingredients you can find in your own backyard, foraging expedition, or local market, you can create artisan drinks that are sophisticated but still easy to make in your own kitchen."--Backcover.
