"Amy Stewart has a way of making gardening seem exciting, even a
little dangerous." —The New York Times
"Many boozy books have been published over the years, spilling over
with fun facts about absinthe, grog and bathtub gin. What makes
Stewart's book different is her infectious enthusiasm for the
plants, their uses, their history, and the botanists who roamed the
earth finding them. The result is intoxicating but in a fresh,
happy, healthy way." —USA Today
"The Drunken Botanist is a sipping book, not a quaffing book, best
enjoyed in moderation...Part Ripley’s Believe It or Not, part
compendium on the order of 'Schott’s Original Miscellany' and part
botanical garden tour, albeit with a curated cocktail party at the
end . . . a companionable reference and whimsical recitation of
historical-botanical trivia, with a little tart debunking." —The
Washington Post
"Sipping an evening cocktail while flipping through this fine
volume, I discovered that Ms. Stewart knew how to change a
run-of-the-mill cocktail into an intriguing one." —The Wall Street
Journal
"A book that makes familiar drinks seem new again…Through this
horticultural lens, a mixed drink becomes a cornucopia of plants."
—NPR's Morning Edition
"Fascinating, well researched and instructive — with appealing
recipes too." —Rosie Schaap, New York Times
"Gardening can be an intoxicating hobby, especially if the botany
is booze-related." —The Associated Press
