The Recipes: Indexed
All of the drinks, conveniently listed in alphabetical order
Here are ALL the drinks featured in the Spirits so far. If you’d like to search these drinks by ingredient, here is an incredibly useful link. And for a wider selection of spirits (Suze! Cacao! Chartreuse! etc) please consider subscribing to my Cabinet, for which I have created a brief separate index, here.
I’ve also added a few tags to make this more navigable.

✨= A PERSONAL FAVOURITE. (The drinks I return to most often).

You say “Index”. I see it more as a “To Do List”.
Encouraged by your article on self publishing last March in the Guardian, I recently self-published my novel Endless Blind Passions—working with a professional editor et al. (Moreover, at age 77, after a long career as a freelance writer, I decided I couldn't wait years to maybe secure a publisher.) Now the challenge is getting it reviewed somewhere, though it's getting high praise on Amazon. I'd like to send you a copy. It's a saga of America 1950-2001 in the guise of a gay romance and a 9/11 intrigue. People are finding it funny, gripping, and scary.
