Abstract:
"With 60 delicious cocktail recipes paired with 60 of the most laughable, head-scratchable laws, Give Me Liberty and Give Me a Drink! is both a fabulous cocktail book and a riotous look into the political underworld of the booze industry. Thanks to Prohibition, there are thousands of laws still in existence today that limit our ability to enjoy cocktails, not only at bars but even in our homes! In Wyoming, it is illegal to hold a wine-tasting in your own home. In places like New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, you can't buy alcohol on Christmas. And in Ohio, you can't depict Santa or mothers in any advertisement for alcohol. Give Me Liberty and Give Me a Drink! inspires readers to resist these laws with a drink in hand, whether it's the Crawl So Hard, made with vodka and coffee liqueur; the Zion Curtain, with its mojito-inspired ingredients; or the Dazed and Confused, composed of ginger-infused vodka and ginger ale."-- Provided by publisher.
