About the Book

¿SABES LO QUE CONTIENE LO QUE TE ESTÁS BEBIENDO?

Un insólito brindis literario para celebrar la larga y feliz unión entre la bebida y la botánica.

El vino más exquisito, el cóctel más creativo, la cerveza más refrescante, todas las bebidas alcohólicas tienen en su esencia un componente vegetal, una o más variedades de hierbas o cereales que les otorgan un carácter único y distintivo.

En este original libro, la autora expone los secretos de la «botánica» de nuestros néctares favoritos, una guía de más de 150 plantas, árboles, flores y frutos, aderezada con apuntes inéditos sobre la relación entre las plantas, la química y el alcohol. Algunas variedades son poco conocidas, otras son de una rareza peculiar, y por lo menos una es tan vieja como los dinosaurios, pero todas ellas forman parte de diferentes tradiciones culturales y de nuestra historia común.

Botánica para bebedores contiene, además, indicaciones para que uno mismo pueda cultivar muchas de las plantas descritas, así como cincuenta recetas de cócteles y abundantes consejos para dominar el arte de mezclar bebidas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The Essential, New York Times-Bestselling Guide to Botany and Booze

"A book that makes familiar drinks seem new again... Through this horticultural lens, a mixed drink becomes a cornucopia of plants."--NPR's Morning Edition

"Amy Stewart has a way of making gardening seem exciting, even a little dangerous." --The New York Times

Sake began with a grain of rice. Scotch emerged from barley, tequila from agave, rum from sugarcane, bourbon from corn. Thirsty yet? In The Drunken Botanist, Amy Stewart explores the dizzying array of herbs, flowers, trees, fruits, and fungi that humans have, through ingenuity, inspiration, and sheer desperation, contrived to transform into alcohol over the centuries.

Of all the extraordinary and obscure plants that have been fermented and distilled, a few are dangerous, some are downright bizarre, and one is as ancient as dinosaurs--but each represents a unique cultural contribution to our global drinking traditions and our history.

This fascinating concoction of biology, chemistry, history, etymology, and mixology--with more than fifty drink recipes and growing tips for gardeners--will make you the most popular guest at any cocktail party.


About the Author: Amy Stewart es autora de seis libros sobre los peligros y los placeres de la naturaleza. Sus ensayos y artículos han aparecido en The New York Times, The Washington Post y en revistas como Fine Gardening. Ha sido becaria del National Endowment for the Arts y distinguida con el Premio Literario de la American Horticultural Society en 2010. En 2014, Botánica para bebedores obtuvo el Judges Choice Award de la International Association of Culinary Professionals, así como el Northern California Book Award. Stewart vive en Eureka (California), donde tiene una librería, Eureka Books.
