A tasteless, odourless and colourless liquid, vodka is the most
versatile of spirits. It can be transformed into a classic
cocktail; turned into a refreshing drink when combined with fruit
juice, tonic water, or ginger beer; or is a powerful beverage in
its own right, taken neat and swallowed in one gulp, Russian style.
Vodka has endured many obstacles, continuing to flourish despite
the American Prohibition and a ban in Russia on the eve of World
War One. As one saying suggests, it has engrained itself in Russian
society: 'the poor drink when they can and the rich when they
want'. Patricia Herlihy provides an engaging account of the rise of
vodka from its mysterious origins in a Slavic country in the
fourteenth century, to its present day transatlantic reign across
Europe and North America. Vodka: A Global History describes vodka's
complete history, from its emergence in Eastern Europe to its
future as a global beverage, spreading into emerging markets across
the world. Attractively illustrated with photographs, paintings and
graphic art, this title will appeal to vodka drinkers and cocktail
fans, as well as any reader with an interest in the story of how a
simple spirit has become an international industry.
