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.
