In the past few decades
many of us have become
foodies, but our new
focus on flavour has been
dominated by what we eat.
In How to Drink Victoria
Moore aims to redress the
balance, by explaining
how to drink well at all
times of day, on all
occasions, and across
every season. Here are
recipes for mint juleps
in the spring, sloe gin
in the autumn, hot
buttered rum in the
winter; and, year-round
showstoppers, including
the world's best G&T. How
to Drink is unique among
drinks books - neither a
garish cocktail guide,
nor an intimidating wine
book. It's a hugely
readable and beautiful
handbook, that aims to
inform, entertain, and,
crucially, to ensure
you are never without the
perfect drink for each
occasion, 21cm x 14.8cm
x 2.5cm, pages 337
