Book: And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in Ten Cocktails

Author: Wayne Curtis

For fans of: rum history, pirates turned bartenders, and spirited storytelling.

From the grog sailors drank on the high seas in the 1700s to the mojitos of Havana bar hoppers, spirits and cocktail columnist Wayne Curtis offers a history of rum and the Americas alike, revealing that the homely spirit once distilled from the industrial waste of the booming sugar trade has managed to infiltrate every stratum of New World society. 

Curtis takes us from the taverns of the American colonies, where rum delivered both a cheap wallop and cash for the Revolution; to the plundering pirate ships off the coast of Central America; to the watering holes of pre-Castro Cuba; and to the kitsch-laden tiki bars of 1950s America. Here are sugar barons and their armies conquering the Caribbean, Paul Revere stopping for a nip during his famous ride, Prohibitionists marching against "demon rum," Hemingway fattening his liver with Havana daiquiris, and today's bartenders reviving old favorites like Planter's Punch.

In an age of microbrewed beer and single-malt whiskeys, rum--once the swill of the common man--has found its way into the tasting rooms of the most discriminating drinkers. Complete with cocktail recipes for would-be epicurean time-travelers, this is history at its most intoxicating.

Although it was a quality made shirt, not happy with the fit and style.
Size: X-Large, Color: Grey Stripe
Order this in an XL size for my son-in-law for Xmas. He isn't overally big, but likes the XL size for a little more roominess. After Xmas he tried it on. Although it was a quality made shirt, he wasn't happy with the fit and style. A no hassle return.

Nice shirt, Fabric is revealing
Size: 3X-Large, Color: Teal 09
Beautiful shirt. Color is lovely. The material, however does reveal any bumps, lumps, or hair you may have on your skin, even with appropriate sizing. I don't think sizing up would help. Very smooth, stretchy material. Comfortable to wear.
