Good for Summer Browsing and Mixing

Like a couple of Stewart's other books (one on insects, one on poisonous plants), this is more of a browsing book than something you read straight through. It's also better one of those books that works better on paper than digitally - the graphics were wonky on my kindle, and it was frustrating skipping around. I did like using the dictionary feature for some of Stewart's exotic drink terms, though.
There are some interesting drink recipes in here. I would like to hang out with Stewart and have her bar tend and tell stories about what she's serving me.
