This book has a lot of (often repetitive & overlapping) history to fill in the time period when the cocktail was in fashion. A better read is A History of the World in 6 Glasses, which worked better to show the influence of six specific beverages on Western history and society.
The most helpful chapters are the last 2: A Thumbnail Guide to Rum & When It‘s Cocktail Time. Overall, disappointing. But at least it‘s off my shelf!
Book 4 for #20in4
1. It's a tie between a Peach Milkshake from Chik-fil-a or an Arnold Palmer (half lemonade/half tea) which I enjoy year around. If I want something alcoholic, I enjoy Jameson Cold Brew & Cola.
2. Depends on the weather, but since most days are awfully humid and uncomfortable, I'm mostly an inside reader.

Day 8. With a pun

A book I don‘t own but definitely need to, as my favorite drink is a Margarita 🍹 😂
#WithAPun Always tempted when I see this title, but so far I haven‘t bought it. #TemptingTitles @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
This cocktail is not in the tagged book, and isn't inspired by the pictured book, which just happens to be what I'm reading while drinking, so there's no real bookish justification for this post ??♂️
Anyway, it's inspired from the Karen's Diner menu, where Mrs B thinks she would fit right in as a member of staff: Vodka, Triple Sec, Lime Juice, Apple Juice, known as an "Are You Taking the Piss". Sweet, sharp and fruity, just like Mrs B! ??
