Title:
Wild Cocktails from the Midnight Apothecary: Over 100 recipes using home-grown and foraged fruits, herbs, and edible flowers
Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Hardcover
Overview:
Discover Wild Cocktails from the Midnight Apothecary, a lush, garden-to-glass guide from Lottie Muir, the creator of the Midnight Apothecary pop-up cocktail bar. Set in a roof garden in the heart of London, this hardcover collection invites you to transform home-grown herbs, edible flowers, and locally foraged fruits into extraordinary drinks. The book opens with The Cocktail Cabinet, where gardening and cocktail-making basics meet practical home bar know-how. Learn which botanicals work year-round, how to cultivate vibrant herbs in small spaces, and foraging tips for those adventures beyond the back garden. The author also introduces essential equipment and techniques for infusions and syrups, plus garnish ideas that lift any serve. The journey continues through The Cocktail Elements, revealing a broad toolkit of infusions, syrups, liqueurs, and bitters to fuel The Recipes. Within Garden Cocktails, Foraged Cocktails, and Mocktails and Restorative Cocktails, you’ll find vibrant examples such as the Gorse Collins, Wild Cherry Rye Manhattan, and Lavender Bee’s Knees—proof that the garden and wild turns can deliver big, memorable flavor. This is cocktail craft born from soil, season, and imagination.
What Makes This Book Stand Out:
This is more than a recipe collection; it’s a complete garden-to-glass philosophy. Lottie Muir blends horticulture with bartending, inviting you to source ingredients close to home and to apply simple, repeatable techniques to create sophisticated drinks. The two-part structure—The Cocktail Cabinet and The Cocktail Elements—gives beginners a clear pathway while offering seasoned home bartenders a rich repertoire of infusions, syrups, liqueurs and bitters to customize. The recipes celebrate seasonality, with a distinct London sensibility from the rooftop garden setting. Featuring Garden, Foraged, and Mocktail options, the book demonstrates how edible flowers, herbs and wild fruits can shine in cocktails and non-alcoholic mixes alike. It’s a tactile, visual, and sensory experience—a cookbook, a garden guide, and a small-batch bar masterclass rolled into one elegant volume, perfect for entertaining, gifting, or adding a distinctive voice to any home bar shelf.
Who This Book Is Perfect For:
Ideal for cocktail enthusiasts who want to bring garden-fresh flavor into their drinks, home cooks who love foraging or growing ingredients, and anyone who enjoys seasonal, plant-forward entertaining. It’s particularly suited to readers who dream of a London rooftop mixology vibe translated into a home setting, those who appreciate thoughtful garnishes, and anyone seeking approachable, high-impact recipes. Gift buyers will know they’re offering a unique, beautiful, and practical book that doubles as inspiration for gatherings, dinner parties, and BookTok-worthy beverage adventures.
