Martini, Straight Up : The Classic American Cocktail Paperback / softback
by Lowell (Professor, Rutgers University) Edmunds
Paperback / softback
Description
Originally published in 1998. From its contested origins in nineteenth-century California; through its popularity among the smart set of the 1930s, world leaders of the 1940s, and the men in the gray flannel suits of the 1950s; to its resurgence among today's retro-hipsters: Lowell Edmunds traces the history and cultural significance of the cocktail H.
L. Mencken called "the only American invention as perfect as a sonnet."
