Now, I may not be chatting with a licensed medical physician, but my guest, Colleen O'Bryant of Wild Roots Apothecary, has a ton of awesome insights on how we can build a healthier relationship with cocktails and alcohol in general. She's also an expert herbalist, and this episode is filled with super-fun ways to incorporate herbs into your cocktail creations. Some of the things we cover in our discussion include: Colleen's journey from office management to spirited herbalist Her fairy cocktail hour The regenerative properties of skunk cabbage, dandelions, and other herbs The arts of scouting and foraging DIY bitters and infused spirits Our favorite herbal liqueurs And much, much more. I have a feeling that this is going to be one of the most popular episodes of this podcast, so I hope you enjoy my interview with Colleen O'Bryant.
