A mix of non-fiction on drinking history and culture, and tried-and-true recipe books. I will only add a recipe book to this list if I have personally made three delicious cocktails from it and find the instructions clear and useful. Feel free to share your recs for books I should test and history/culture reads, or hit me up for tips on making drinks at home. Please enjoy responsibly.

This list focuses on nonfiction books that describe different topics in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). This list tends to prioritize books that focus more on the whys/hows something works, but occasionally dive into the history of subjects too!

Happy reading! As always open to suggestions!! 🤠🌱
