The Drunken Botanist

Author: Amy Stewart

Reader: Coleen Marlo

A rousing tour through the botanical origins of our most cherished libations.

American outrage over a mandate to buy British rather than French molasses for rum-making helped kindle our revolution. From the author of Wicked Bugs and Wicked Plants.
