Doctor's Orders

Cocktails were first created as medicinal tonics, and today the best drinks still have the power to soothe and restore. In Doctor's Orders , you'll find classic cocktails and new concoctions to cure whatever ails you, whether it's a broken heart or just a serious case of the Mondays.

Chris Edwards and Dave Tregenza prescribe restorative elixirs such as the Apple a Day and delicious potions like the Jungle Fever. Make a visit to the Peach Therapist, give yourself some Thirst Aid, and remedy any hangover with Tiger's Milk, a twist on the tried and true Bloody Mary. Chapters include Remedies, packed with vitamins and antioxidants; sweet and indulgent Mood Lifters; and Fixer Uppers to put a pep in your step.

With recipes to create your own syrups, infused spirits and garnishes, as well as tips for perfect presentation, this book is just what the doctor ordered.
