I’m thrilled to announce the launch of my digital book, ‘GROW YOUR OWN COCKTAIL GARDEN, 1 Part Grow Guides, 1 Part Cocktails & a Dash of Flavour Pairing featuring 50 Botanicals including Australian Natives from The Gourmantic Garden’.
It’s been two years in the making and it launches today on the 14th anniversary of the Gourmantic brand!
Like a classic cocktail, GROW YOUR OWN COCKTAIL GARDEN is built around 1 part gardening, 1 part cocktails and a dash of flavour pairing. The book features 50 botanicals including Australian natives grown in The Gourmantic Garden.
Aimed at a new generation of home gardeners and cocktail enthusiasts, the 260+ page digital book is for anyone who wants to grow their own food and transform their produce into delicious drinks. It’s suitable for all garden spaces, from a sunny balcony and a modest courtyard to a large backyard garden. The book is equally suited to beginners as well as those who have experience in gardening and / or mixing drinks and want to step up their gardening or cocktail repertoire.
“This book is a game changer. While most people grow an edible garden to bring food to the table, this book will also have gardeners mixing botanical cocktails at home and drink enthusiasts growing their own cocktail ingredients.” – Corinne Mossati
Featuring over 85 cocktail and prep recipes including syrups, liqueurs, shrubs, oxymels, ferments and tinctures, the book includes 50 full page colour cocktail photos taken throughout the seasons on location in The Gourmantic Garden.
Part 1 introduces the basics of gardening and cocktails from essential tools to terminology and techniques. Part 2 dives into 50 chapters with an A-Z of botanicals including Australian natives with easy-to-follow grow guides, botanical photographs, variations to try and flavour pairings before it all comes together in a glass. The cocktail recipes have all the steps required for the cocktail preparation, including prep recipes for making syrups, shrubs, cordials, infusions, tinctures and more. Part 3 consists of useful appendices with practical resources on how to deal with common garden pests and diseases, DIY organic sprays, unit measure conversion along with digital resources and further reading.
I hope you’re as excited as I am about my new digital venture with more titles to come. Over the next few weeks and months, I’ll be sharing behind the scenes details, giving you a peek into the mind of a cocktail gardener and sharing the journey of how it came to be.
GROW YOUR OWN COCKTAIL GARDEN book is the first title in the GROW IT EAT IT DRINK IT books and is available now as a digital download in pdf format. Thank you for supporting an independent author.
