GARDEN PARTY
We’ve long been fans of Adriana Picker’s detailed botanical illustrations (bold begonias! Pink waratahs! Paper daisies!). For her third book she’s turned her hand to another love – seasonal cocktails – and has enlisted bartender Ed Loveday, of Sydney’s Acme and Bar Brosé restaurants, to wield the shaker. Does your garden party call for pear and green tea Bellinis or a honeysuckle twist on the French 75? The Cocktail Garden ($24.99, hbk, Hardie Grant)
