Cocktails were first created as medicinal tonics, and today the best drinks still have the power to soothe and restore.

In Doctor's Orders, you'll find classic cocktails and new concoctions to cure whatever ails you, whether it's a broken heart or just a serious case of the Mondays.

Chris Edwards and Dave Tregenza prescribe restorative elixirs such as the Apple a Day and delicious potions like the Jungle Fever. Make a visit to the Peach Therapist, give yourself some Thirst Aid, and remedy any hangover with Tiger's Milk, a twist on the tried and true Bloody Mary.

Chapters include Remedies, packed with vitamins and antioxidants; sweet and indulgent Comforters; and Fixer Uppers to put a pep in your step. With recipes to create your own syrups, infused spirits and garnishes, as well as tips for perfect presentation, this book is just what the doctor ordered.
