Botany aT the Bar: The art & Science of making bitters

Botany at the Bar is a comprehensive book on bitters written by the three female scientists who founded Shoots & Roots Bitters. This book takes readers on an in-depth exploration of the cultural, botanical, sensory, and health aspects of bitters. The book provides step-by-step guidance on how to make science-based bitters grounded in stories, flavors, and experiences from different geographies around the world. Our bitters recipes are paired with cocktail recipes designed in collaboration with mixologists Christian Schaal and Kevin Denton as well as shrubs by Jim Merson. We end with botanical profiles so you can learn more about the botanical diversity you are consuming. Launched Summer 2019
