The American Drink BookAuthor: S S FieldThe author travelled all the way back to the 18th century on a taste tour of American history, and returned with recipes that pass the most exacting taste tests of modern gourmets. You'll find out how to be a connoisseur of many little-known American wines without having to memorize dozens of varieties, wine types, vineyards and regions. You'll learn how to own the finest sippin' whiskey at no extra cost, and the low-down on American, Scotch and Irish whiskies as well as rum, gin, beer, brandy and liqueurs. In short, you'll find out how to become the complete and hospitable bartender; and you'll have a wonderful time, not only reading the book but putting its principles into practice.Book DetailsPublisher: Farrar, Straus and YoungYear Published: 1953Book Number: 0916565Binding: HardcoverDust Jacket: NoPages: 282Book ConditionVery Good.
