Great adventures often start with a drink-including Alice`s expedition down the rabbit hole, which began with a sip of a curiously labelled tipple.

We have delved into the depths of the Pool of Tears in search of the most magical ingredients & sumptuous flavors, & after some sage advice from a helpful caterpillar, have compiled a list of recipes that would be regularly enjoyed by the inhabitants of Wonderl&. Drink Me

Includes::
concoctions for every palate & occasion, no matter your drinking predilection. Perfect pre-dinner aperitifs are in abundance, including The Queen of Hearts, a sweet, refreshing drink with bitter undertones, & Painting The Roses Red, a bubbly highball of sharp raspberry & gin flavors, softened with a hint of rose water. We explore the hallucinogenic properties of Absinthe in our ode to the unknown, The Mushroom, a strong mix of aniseed, rose, & complex herbal flavors, while we reminisce over the taste of our childhood with drinks such as Bread & Butterfly Pudding & the Unbirthday Cake Martini. The Duchesses Soup is a refined take on the punch bowl, while we make a refreshing palate cleanser in the form of The Caucus Chaser, a sticky plum & chestnut sharpener low enough in alcohol that you can greedily gulp it without even a hint of regret.

Leonid, a hard-luck lorry driver who lives with his raving, war-veteran father in Moscow & ferries less-than-legit shipments of goods all over Russia for his Mafiya bosses, has a single dream: to leave behind the country of his birth, for which he feels nothing but disdain, & immigrate to the United States. It is the mid-1990s, & Russia has only just been ”liberated”, though precisely what that concept denotes in the post-Soviet world depends on whom you ask
- & on who benefits most. However, Leonid knows in his heart of hearts that In America, his happiness will be guaranteed. During a haul to the Caucasus with a cargo of illicit vodka intended for parched soldiers on the front line of the war on Chechnya, Leonid & his sidekick Spasska take a wrong turn & wind up in the centre of Grozny, at the height of one of the cruellest bombardments of the twentieth century. What follows will shock Leonid into a confrontation with the reality that has always played out just beyond his averted gaze, & even his well-honed cynicism & survival instincts will be tested. Destined to become a tough-guy cult classic, this short, sharp debut novel is also a heartfelt contemplation of how we engage with our worst instincts, & sometimes (if all too rarely) rise above them. Like the book in which he stars so vividly, Leonid is a hard nut with a soft centre; you can`t help but love the guy, however amoral his behaviour. This is compulsively readable stuff: funny, tender, sad & true.
