The Herbal Mixologist's Guide for the Sober Curious 65 Garden-to-Glass Recipes

Mix up your drink game with 60+ flavorful spirit-free libations that rival the look and taste of any traditional cocktail.

Whether you’re observing a month of sobriety for wellness reasons, you’re hosting a gathering and want to offer plenty of beverage options, or you’re just plain curious what all the nonalcoholic fuss is about, The Herbal Mixologist's Guide for the Sober Curious features satisfying mocktails for any occasion. Each recipe features clear photos of individual ingredients, simple instructions, and tantalizing photos of the finished drink. 

Organized by flavor profile—astringent, bitter, neutral, salty, sour, spicy, sweet—you'll be able to craft mocktails to suit what you're craving. And the brief overview of herbalism reviews the medicinal and beneficial properties of the botanicals used in the drinks. Whether you're looking to fight a cold (Elderberry & Echinacea Immune Boosting Tonic), want a cleanse after a heavy holiday season (Dandelion Root Detox Tea),  or simply need to relax (Chilled Wildflower Relaxation Elixier), there's something for everyone here.

Based on homemade herbal oxymels, decoctions, tinctures, infusions, herbal syrups, and bitters, along with fresh herbs, roots, and flowers, you’ll be able to create unique booze-free drinks such as:
 

• Blossoming Meadow Punch
• Juniper & Cranberry Agua Fresca
• Wildcrafted Herbal Fire Cider
• Dandelion & Peach Slushy
• S'mores Mocktail
• Moonlit Meadowsweet & Lemon Balm Infusion
• Strawberry Mint Matcha Cooler
• Homemade Root Beer and Ginger Beer
