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.
