Nectar of the Gods, Illustrated by Sara Richard - Cocktail Book (BK-134)

Hestia's Old Fashioned, an Eros on the Beach, The Flight of Icarus: Nectar of the Gods turns Greek mythology into a cocktail book with 75 drinks named for gods, goddesses and heroes.

Each recipe comes with a dose of the myth behind it, written by Liv Albert, host of the podcast Let's Talk About Myths, Baby!, with Thea Engst, and illustrated throughout by Sara Richard. That mix of story and recipe makes it fun to read even when you are not mixing anything, and it gives a party a ready made theme. It suits a mythology fan, a home bartender who wants something beyond the classics, or anyone with a shelf of myth retellings and a bar cart. The illustrations also make it a good coffee table book.
