Download Imbibe! Updated and Revised Edition: From Absinthe Cocktail to Whiskey Smash, a Salute in Stories and Drinks to "Professor" Jerry Thomas, Pioneer of the American Bar AudioBook Free
Cocktail article writer and historian David Wondrich presents the bright colored, little-known record of traditional American refreshments - and the ultimate mixologist's guide - in this engaging homage to Jerry Thomas, daddy of the American pub. The first edition, publicized in 2007, gained a Wayne Beard Award. Now modified with newly discovered meals and historical information, this modified edition includes the roots of the first American drink, the mint julep (which Wondrich places before the American Revolution) and the ones of the cocktail itself. In addition, it provides greater detail about 19th-century spirits, many new and bright colored anecdotes and details about Thomas' life, and lots of particularly noteworthy, delicious, and influential cocktails not protected in the original edition, rounding out the picture of pre-Prohibition tippling. This bright colored and good-humored amount is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the amazing appeal of a well-made drink - and the uniquely American record behind it.
