¿SABES QUÉ CONTIENE LO QUE TE ESTÁS BEBIENDO?

«Una fabulosa guía de conocimientos botánicos para los amantes de los cócteles.» --Kirkus Reviews

El sake nació del grano del arroz, el whisky escocés surgió de la cebada, el tequila del agave, el ron de la caña de azúcar, el bourbon del maíz... Amy Stewart explora aquí la vertiginosa variedad de hierbas, flores, árboles, frutas y hongos que los seres humanos, gracias al ingenio, la inspiración o la desesperación, han logrado transformar en alcohol. De todas las plantas extraordinarias y misteriosas que se han fermentado y destilado, algunas son peligrosas, otras son absolutamente sorprendentes y una es tan antigua como los dinosaurios, pero todas han contribuido de una forma definitiva a nuestras tradiciones y nuestra historia.

Con más de cincuenta recetas de bebidas y consejos de cultivo para amantes de la jardinería, esta obra, fascinante mezcla de biología, química, historia y coctelería, es el invitado imprescindible en cualquier reunión social o familiar, donde no faltan las mejores recetas para preparar los cócteles más especiales, desde un Margarita clásico hasta un Manhattan, un Cóctel de vermut, un Café irlandés de Buena Vista o un Negroni, entre muchos otros.

Considerado uno de los libros más destacados de no ficción del año 2013, traducido a numerosos idiomas y galardonado con varios premios, Botánica para cócteles, ahora en un formato más manejable, se ha convertido, una década después de su publicación original, en un long-seller que no ha dejado de suscitar admiración y ganar nuevos lectores en todo el mundo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The New York Times-bestselling guide to botany and booze celebrates its 10th anniversary with an updated edition--now including a guide to planting your very own cocktail garden to go with more than fifty drink recipes. This fascinating, go-to text about the plants that make our drinks is the ideal gift book for every cocktail aficionado, the perfect drinks book for every plant-lover.

Sake began with a grain of rice. Scotch emerged from barley, tequila from agave, rum from sugarcane, bourbon from corn. Thirsty yet? In The Drunken Botanist, Amy Stewart explores the dizzying array of herbs, flowers, trees, fruits, and fungi that humans have, through ingenuity, inspiration, and sheer desperation, contrived to transform into alcohol over the centuries.

Of all the extraordinary and obscure plants that have been fermented and distilled, a few are dangerous, some are downright bizarre, and one is as ancient as dinosaurs--but each represents a unique cultural contribution to our global drinking traditions and our history.

This charming concoction of biology, chemistry, history, etymology, and mixology--with delightful drawings, tasty cocktail recipes, and fun factoids throughout--will make you the most popular guest at any cocktail party.

"A book that makes familiar drinks seem new again . . . Through this horticultural lens, a mixed drink becomes a cornucopia of plants."--NPR's Morning Edition

"Amy Stewart has a way of making gardening seem exciting, even a little dangerous." --The New York Times

seriously matte-ifying
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Don’t judge but back in the day I used to use Avon’s “face perfector” because it REALLY cut down on the shininess of face oil and it also had SPF. It made your face look matte without any other makeup. And I am pleased that this gel is similar. No face grease. It’s not even really a gel—if instantly feels powdery (somehow?) in your hand, thus it’s nongreasy. It leaves your face shine free and protected.

Perfect for a low-maintenance man
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have very fair skin and am a low maintenance kind of guy. My entire skin care routine is washing my face and trying my best to remember to put on sunscreen. This is the best face sunscreen I have ever used. It literally seems to disappear on my face immediately after applying it. I sometimes doubt I even got it spread evenly because of how quickly it disappears but it has worked just as well as thicker sunscreens I have used in the past. I would bet this would be great for women under their makeup because it wouldn't feel like another layer.

~ Oily Skin Review ~ (Updated)
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I haven’t seen any oily skin reviews of this product so I took a shot of buying it and trying for myself. Hopefully this review helps you. I have oily combo skin. It is also sensitive and prone to breaking out. When I shook the product, as instructed, it was not a gel I was expecting. It’s kind of matte gel (almost like a primer), which I don’t like using matte products since it makes me even more oily and the texture of the gel is like a primer. Kind of greasy but soft. However, when rubbed into the skin all the way it surprisingly left my face feeling soft and not really greasy, and even though it’s suppose to be a matte finish, I think because I used my cerave moisturizer first, it left more of a satin finish. After a couple hours I was happy to see that my face wasn’t ridiculously shining! It had a nice glow, and my face (mainly in the T-zone) felt a little bit slippery which I’ll call a win because like I said earlier the product had a bit of a greasy texture so I was expecting to feel REALLY greasy but I didn’t. And another huge bonus is it did not cause me to break out!! Usually my skin with purge on day one of using something new and my skin did not! If you have oily skin I would say try it IF you want to. The price is a bit too much in my opinion, I’d rather spend maybe $15 max on this product but honestly the results, for me, I think I would purchase it again. But oily skin responds differently for everyone so if you wanna try it, I’d say got for it. But if you don’t wanna risk it because of the price, honestly wouldn’t blame you for not trying it. Update: So I have used this for I don’t know how long now. Imma say this much. For colder seasons, my skin loves it. For warmed seasons my face starts to feel extra greasy. Bought the Daily Face liquid, my skin loves it! Have not broken out from it, no white cast. Would recommend not using the gel during warmer seasons.

Reliable
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I was kinda surprised by the texture, I'd call it a dupe for super goop! Its got that sort of light balmy ish, matte, velvety type of primer feel to it. It actually works well on top of makeup or under it.
