Amy Finley's 'The Regency Book of Drinks' cocktail book is a recipe for some 'Bridgerton'-era tippling
a new collection of deeply researched, eminently quaffable cocktail recipes shaped by the Regency period of 1811 to 1820 that provided the historical framing for “Bridgerton.” The series is now in its second season.
“That era was a really fruitful period for cocktails and a really amazing period in history,” Finley said from Burlington, Vt., where she moved to last year to work on her master’s in Food Systems at the University of Vermont. The spirited result is “The Regency Book of Drinks,” which features more than 75 cocktail recipes, most of them original Finley creations. The book is divided into chapters inspired by “Bridgerton"-era society and the ladies and gentlemen who make that dizzy world spin.
“I definitely wanted to include people who are not drinking,” said Finley, who also includes a section on parlor games, along with a chapter on the spirits, tools and glassware you’ll need to set up your Regency bar. And if you play your mixology cards right, perhaps the queen herself will drop in on your soirée for a sustaining snack. If Finley has her way, Queen Charlotte might even bring her own recipes.
