Anthropologists and historians have confirmed
the central role alcohol has played in nearly every society since the dawn of
human civilization, but it is only recently that it has been the subject of
serious scholarly inquiry. The Oxford Companion to Spirits and Cocktails is the
first major reference work to cover the subject and explores the historical,
technical, and cultural aspects of this branch of the alcohol family. Compiled
by world authority David Wondrich, with the assistance of a team of experts from
around the globe, it stands beside the hugely successful Oxford Companions to
Wine and Beer, providing an authoritative, enlightening and entertaining
overview of this third branch of the alcohol family.
With entries ranging from Manhattan and mixology to sloe gin and
stills, the Companion combines coverage of the range of spirit-based drinks
around the world with clear explanations of production processes, and the
history and culture of their consumption.
