A witty, illustrated cocktail guide for bird lovers, Make Myna Double pairs scientifically sound ornithology with pun-filled, bird-inspired drink recipes that are as delightful as they are delicious.
Birds and booze, together at last. Whether you're a budding birder or just love a well-crafted cocktail, Make Myna Double offers a playful and practical crash course in bartending and birdwatching. With every recipe tied to a real species--from hummingbirds and toucans to kiwis and ptarmigans--you'll learn the science behind feathers and flavors while shaking up creative drinks.
Crafted by a PhD ornithologist turned full-time cocktail creator. Katie Stryjewski, known for her Instagram @garnish_girl, combines her love of birds with years of mixology experience to create this one-of-a-kind guide.
