Chatting Books Online Day 160. You know those days when a particular book seems to be on everyone’s mind ? This is one of those books. Though we have carried it since the first of the year it hadn’t caught much attention ... until yesterday that is. For some reason this book kept coming up . First I suggested it to someone who said they were making a Cocktail themed birthday basket for a friend , then an hour later someone else just walked up to the counter to buy it , then later someone else asked about it.
Rather than me tell you about it I’m just going let LSU Press tell you a bit:
In Lift Your Spirits: A Celebratory History of Cocktail Culture in New Orleans, Elizabeth M. Williams, founder and director of the Southern Food and Beverage Institute, and world-renowned bartender Chris McMillian illuminate the city’s open embrace of alcohol, both in religious and secular life, while delving into the myths, traditions, and personalities that have made New Orleans a destination for imbibing tourists and a mecca for mixologists.
With over 40 cocktail recipes interspersed among nearly three hundred years of history, a sampling of premier cocktail bars in New Orleans, and a glossary of terms to aid drink making and mixing, Lift Your Spirits honors the art of a good drink in the city of good times.
