Publisher Description

What role did Scotch whisky play in the development of the steam engine? Who first coined the word "alcohol"? Spirits and drink historians Anistatia Miller and Jared Brown know. They have been on a spirituous journey since they first launched their web site Shaken Not Stirred: A Celebration of the Martini and the book by the same name. Fifteen years of travel around the world, a few worn out library cards, and thousands of pages of undiscovered research later, they have amassed their findings in the two-volume work, Spirituous Journey: A History of Drink—a must for anyone who wants to know more about the history of cocktails and the people who made them.


Winner of the 2009 Gourmand Cookbook Award for Best Drink History in the UK, the authors have also received the International Wine & Spirits Competition's 2011 Communicators of the Year Award.
