This book has a lot of (often repetitive & overlapping) history to fill in the time period when the cocktail was in fashion. A better read is A History of the World in 6 Glasses, which worked better to show the influence of six specific beverages on Western history and society.

The most helpful chapters are the last 2: A Thumbnail Guide to Rum & When It‘s Cocktail Time. Overall, disappointing. But at least it‘s off my shelf!

Book 4 for #20in4

My building has a bookcase to share books. Our own little free library. I took a couple down and found these two.

Hanging with Jane Hawk (Nancy Drew on steroids) on a overcast #Barbados Saturday with a shot of #rum. Life is grand!

I'm enjoying this book so far. Does it count as looking for spoilers that I skipped to the back to pass on the recipes to friends who drink more than I do?
I love the idea of going through the history of the alcohol and the history of the people drinking the alcohol at the same time.
