The contents of the 2km of archive shelving in Alnwick Castle have inspired Jane, Duchess of Northumberland to publish a collection of recipes dating back to the first duchess.
The Little Book Of Cocktails, Cordials And Elixirs brings together some of the oldest recipes for cocktails and cordials ever recorded and combines them with modern favourites.
The book includes blends named for the Duchess, including Delicious Jane, Deadly Jane, Desirable Jane, and – we kid ye not – Dirty Jane, which is vodka and raspberry-based. We are told Deadly Jane is a bestseller in the Tree House at Alnwick Garden.
Little Book Of Cocktails, Cordials And Elixirs by The Duchess of Northumberland, £9.99
