Especially when paired with a fresh, crisp cocktail. Nothing warms my heart like a table full of my favorite people sharing a flavorful meal and a few delicious drinks. I love it so much, that I do it for a living. I am a lifestyle and nutrition coach and The Healthy Bartender. By combining my years of food and beverage industry experience with my passion for healthy ingredients, I create fun, simple, and delicious ways for you to live your best life ever. Like infusing nutritious ingredients back into your life one delicious drink at a time. And thats what this book is all about.

So you can go ahead, grab some friends and loved ones, share a great meal, and actually drink to your health! Spirited history Drinking to good health might sound like an oxymoron, but a closer look at the history of spirits shows that alcohol has been used for over 1,000 years as the most efficient medium for delivering the medicinal properties of plants into our bloodstream. Healing ailments has always been at the root of cocktail culture. In fact, restorative cocktails were originally created in early pharmacies and apothecaries as early as the 16th century. The earliest-known pharmacist-prepared tinctures, bitters, elixirs, and tonics were made with herbs, flowers, fruits, and yes, even vegetables laced with alcohol, which preserved their healing properties. These potions were custom made, using botanicals grown right in the apothecaries to ensure freshness and potency, then shaken or stirred and given to the patient as a prescription. These restorative cocktails served people well, curing ailments ranging from an upset stomach to scurvy.

In fact, what is simply known to modern cocktail lovers as a gin-and-tonic was first introduced by the British East India Company to prevent malaria among its soldiers in India. It wasnt until 1906 that the government got involved and began to move alcohol-based cocktails out of pharmacies and into the cocktail bar, where their curative qualities became an afterthought. Zen and tonic I grew up drinking some very distinctive tonics every morning, thanks to my dad. He brewed herbal concoctions regularly to help strengthen my immunity. Although I didnt care much for them at the time, I did develop a strong appreciation for the health benefits of nutrient-rich herbs, spices, fruits, flowers, and vegetables. Since then, Ive been playing hard to combine nutritious foods and boozy concoctions to create delectable recipes for health that keep food and life fun.

So, get ready to experience the healing art of the cocktail that I like to call Zen and Tonic. Stocking your home bar should be a fun and exciting venture. After all, youll be using it to make many delicious libations from this book and beyond. For that reason, Ive kept my suggestions and recommendations easy, affordable, and readily available.
