The good folks at Anchor Distilling have reprinted Cocktail Boothby's American Bartender. About a year or so they put out an edition of the book, but this summer they added more to it. In addition to Boothby's text, there is an introduction about drinking in...more...]]> The Prohibition Hangover: Alcohol in America from Demon Rum to Cult Cabernet (Hardcover) by Garrett Peck]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78159820 http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41bF5rfHKYL._SL75_.jpg 282758 Camper http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1203962113p2/282758.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/282758-camper Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:53:17 -0800
If one was to judge The Prohibition Hangover by its cover, it would be an awful book. There is a blue drink garnished with both a nuclear maraschino cherry in the bottom of cocktail glass and a lime wedge balanced on the rim, right front and center.

The new book Whiskey and Philosophy: A Small Batch of Spirited Ideas is fun, fun, fun, if you're a giant whiskey nerd.
