Library Journal Review

Kelly and Cunningham, founders of Simple Goodness Cocktail Farm and Simple Goodness Soda Shop, share 100 botanical-forward recipes for syrups, cordials, shrubs, tinctures, liqueurs, and more. Embracing a garden-to-glass philosophy, the authors use straight-from-nature ingredients whenever possible, and the book includes a succinct chapter on the basics of growing these in one's own garden. Advice on necessary equipment and pantry items, stocking a liquor cabinet, and tips on drink-mixing techniques (infusing, garnishing, muddling, fat washing) is also provided. Recipes for drink mixing components, including citrus cordials and distilled floral water, find their way into other recipes for both cocktails (like a marionberry mojito) and mocktails (such as a nonalcoholic buck). The authors' culinary mandate to get the most possible usage out of ingredients is admirable, showing up in various ways, including repurposing the syrup left over from candying orange peels to make an old-fashioned. VERDICT Imagine The Bartender's Bible got a Martha Stewart Living makeover; that about sums up this superb book's depth of information, artfully packaged and infectiously conveyed.--John Charles
