Drinking with Chickens: Free-Range Cocktails for the Happiest Hour
It's drinks, it's chickens: It's the cocktail book you didn't know you needed!
To add some extra happy to your happy hour , invite a chicken and pour yourself a drink. Author Kate Richards serves up cocktails made for Instagram with the spoils of her Southern California garden, chicken friends by her side. Enjoy any (or all) of the 60+ deliciously drinkable garden-to-glass beverages, such as:
Lilac Apricot Rum Sour
Meyer Lemon + Rosemary Old Fashioned
Rhubarb Rose Cobbler
Blackberry Sage Spritz
Cantaloupe Mint Rum Punch
Cocktails are arranged seasonally, and are 100% accessible for those of us without perpetually sunny backyard gardens at our disposal. Drinking with Chickens will quickly become a boozy favorite, perfect for gifting or for hoarding all for yourself. You don't need chickens to enjoy these drinks or the colorful photos, but be careful, because you may even find yourself aspiring to be, as Kate is, a home chixologist overrun by gorgeous, loud, early-rising egg-laying ladies, and in need of a very strong drink.

Gorgeously styled photographs.

I bought this book as a Christmas gift for my brother and sister-in-law, who raise chickens and are gracious hosts. I read it because as a non chicken raiser and someone who only likes wine, I was curious. The layout and photographs are lush and creative, and the recipes are detailed and look very creative. I think it will be a lovely addition to their chicken-themed Christmas basket. Please don't tell them! :)

I don’t drink, but this book is lovely. The photographs and the humor are top notch. Everything sounds delicious or is such a strange flavor combination it makes you want to try it. My only complaint is there aren’t any mocktail recipes.

I follow Drinking with Chickens’ Instagram and love the combination of Kate’s humor and her ability to create such a beautiful world to explore through her photos. This book is aesthetically gorgeous and has all the things I love from IG, plus great cocktails!

An adorable cocktail cookbook written in a breezy conversational tone that made me want to go have drinks with the author (and all her chickens)! So much ridiculous fun!

WOW! This book was hysterical to wade through. The photography and witty humor really made us laugh and make sure and follow on instagram! Great gift for anyone who loves chickens!

Fun Book. Really like that it's divided by Season. Most recipes require a bit of prep work for things like Rose Syrup.

A lovely book with darling photos and (mostly) unpretentious cocktails. These chickens really steal the show!
