Over the past decade, the popularity of cocktails has returned with
gusto. Amateur and professional mixologists alike have set about
recovering not just the craft of the cocktail, but also its
history, philosophy, and culture. The Shaken and the Stirred
features essays written by distillers, bartenders and amateur
mixologists, as well as scholars, all examining the so-called
'Cocktail Revival' and cocktail culture. Why has the cocktail
returned with such force? Why has the cocktail always acted as a
cultural indicator of class, race, sexuality and politics in both
the real and the fictional world? Why has the cocktail revival
produced a host of professional organizations, blogs, and
conferences devoted to examining and reviving both the drinks and
habits of these earlier cultures?
