Alcohol has played a role in cultures around the world since ancient times. Today, countless drinks and variations exist and alcohol plays a role not only in daily life, but in media and legend as well. This book explores the history of alcohol and its role in cultures around the world before turning to discussion of some of the best-known cocktails in the modern repertoire. Additionally, special attention is given to drinks made famous by their association with a person or a place, such as the Martini with James Bond, the Cosmopolitan and Carrie Bradshaw or the Mint Julep with William Faulkner and the Kentucky Derby.
