"I have changed a lot in the last few years, including what I eat and drink -- it's been a long journey of testing, experimenting, and recording what is best for my body, mind, and spirit. Taking the botanical bartender provided a fun, informative, and safe way for me to continue the practice of being mindful of what I ingest. The interchangeability between adding or removing alcohol for each recipe provides balance, and the aesthetically pleasing presentation inspired me to start playing with herbs and flavors. What was most key to me is the connection to herbalism within each recipe -- the in depth knowledge of each herb to create personalized recipes for myself, friends, and family at any point in the season."
