Straight Up or on the Rocks - The Story of the American Cocktail (Paperback, Revised ed.)

"A short, engrossing history of the concoction in all its variety."
--Katherine Powers, The Boston Sunday Globe

The cocktail is as old as the nation that invented it, yet until this entertaining and authoritative account, its story had never been fully told. William Grimes traces the evolution of American drink from the anything-goes concoctions of the Colonial era to the frozen margarita, spiking his meticulously researched narrative with arresting details, odd facts, and colorful figures.

The book includes about one hundred recipes--half of them new for this edition--for both classics and innovations.
