A cocktail the fascinating alchemy of simple alcohols into complex
potables is an invention as unlikely as it is delicious, and an
American innovation whose history marches in step with that of the
Republic. In Spirits Sugar Water Bitters, nationally recognized
bartender and spirits expert Derek Brown tells the story of the
cocktail s birth, rise, fall, and eventual resurrection, tracing
the contours of the American story itself. In this spirited
timeline, Brown shows how events such as the Whiskey Rebellion,
Prohibition, and the entry of Hawaii into the United States shaped
the nation s drinking habits. Brown also tells the stories of the
great men and women who made their mark on cocktail culture,
including America s Distiller-In-Chief George Washington and
modern-day King Cocktail Dale DeGroff, as well as lesser-known
mixology heroes like Martha Niblo, the nineteenth-century New York
proprieties famous for her Sherry Cobblers, and Frederic Tudor,
whose ice-shipping business gave early drinks like the Cobbler and
the Mint Julep the chill they needed. Featuring classic and
original recipes inspired by each period, this book serves up the
perfect mix of geography, history, culture, and taste.
