QOTD: Do you have a favorite historical time period? Mine is Regency. I love learning about all things Regency and enjoy books that share more about the time period.
I have often wondered about the beverages discussed during Regency times in the books I read. I ponder these questions. What is in the punch at Almack’s? What is proper to serve at a garden party? What do they serve at the club? These questions and more are answered in The Regency Books of Drinks. The book shares what to serve at a soiree, what glassware to use, how to make cocktails, how to make simple syrups, and non-alcoholic punches. My personal favorite was Chilling Favorites, Mastering The Art of the Punchbowl.
But for anyone who is a true Regency fan, the tidbits on each page will be more enticing than the drinks. You will enjoy the letters from Lady Thornburg, some games to play at a house party, the period illustrations, and the history behind the drinks. A true Regency learning experience that will hopefully be your cup of tea. . or punch.
I was given a complimentary copy and not required to write a positive review.
