ABOUT GROW YOUR OWN COCKTAIL GARDEN DIGITAL BOOK

Do you grow your own food and crave fresh ideas of using your produce?

Do you mix drinks at home and wish you could grow your own cocktail botanicals?

Have you always wanted to mix garden-grown drinks at home but lack some knowledge or techniques?

Now you can grow your own food and transform your produce into delicious drinks!

GROW YOUR OWN COCKTAIL GARDEN is the first digital book in the GROW IT EAT IT DRINK IT books. Like a classic cocktail, it’s built around 1 part grow guides, 1 part cocktails and a dash of flavour pairing.

• Part 1 introduces the basics of gardening and cocktails. From essential tools to terminology and techniques, these chapters will make you proficient and equip you with the necessary skills to get started in growing edibles and mixing drinks no matter the size of your growing space.

• Part 2 dives into 50 chapters with an A-Z of botanicals built around the colour-coded GROW IT EAT IT DRINK IT ethos of The Gourmantic Garden. You’ll find easy-to-follow grow guides, colour photographs, variations to try and a section marrying flavour and pairings before it all comes together in a glass. The cocktail recipes have all the steps required for the cocktail preparation, including making syrups, liqueurs, shrubs, oxymels, ferments, 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.
