The drunken botanist : the plants that create the world's great drinks / Amy Stewart. - 1st ed. - Chapel Hill, N.C. : Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, 2013. - xv, 381 p. : ill. ; 2 1 cm.

Includes index.

Every great drink starts with a plant. Sake began with a grain of rice. Scotch emerged from barley. Gin was born from a conifer shrub when a Dutch physician added oil of juniper to a clear spirit, believing that juniper berries would cure kidney disorders. The Drunken Botanist uncovers the enlightening botanical history and the fascinating science and chemistry of over 150 plants, flowers, trees, and fruits (and even one fungus).
