This delightfully macabre cocktail recipe book was produced in conjunction with Edward Gorey's estate. Uneasy Elixirs presents a delectable collection of fifty Goreyesque potions, libations, nightcaps, and aperitifs. For the first time ever, fans will be able to enjoy cocktails inspired by Gorey's characters and settings, such as The Thumbfumble (inspired by The Curious Sofa), Miss Quartermourning’s Grief (inspired by The Other Statue), The B is for Basil Julep (inspired by The Gashlycrumb Tinies—yes, Gorey’s ghastly children get their tipples, too). Illustrated with original art from the Gorey archives. Hardcover with beautiful cut out front cover, makes a perfect gift for any literary mixologist.

The Drunken Botanist, by Amy Stewart is The New York Times-bestselling guide to botany and booze, and celebrates its 10th anniversary with an updated edition, now including a guide to planting your very own cocktail garden to go with more than fifty drink recipes.
If you've had the pleasure of visiting us in the shop, you know we also run a curated botanical & wine bar. We love that this book also bridges our love of botany and skillfully crafted cocktails.
A tree that sheds poison daggers; a glistening red seed that stops the heart; a shrub that causes paralysis; a vine that strangles; and a leaf that triggered a war. In Wicked Plants, Amy Stewart takes on over two hundred of Mother Nature’s most appalling creations. It’s an A to Z of plants that kill, maim, intoxicate, and otherwise offend. You’ll learn which plants to avoid (like exploding shrubs), which plants make themselves exceedingly unwelcome (like the vine that ate the South), and which ones have been killing for centuries (like the weed that killed Abraham Lincoln's mother).
Why we carry this book: The menacing botanical illustrations and splendidly ghastly drawings make this exactly the kind of book we all love to page through. You never know what kind of knowledge you made need one day.
