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.

Solid shirt for the price — looks sharp and fits great
Color: Light Grey, Size: 3X-Large
I picked up this COOFANDY long sleeve shirt for work and casual wear, and overall I’m really happy with it. The fit is true to size and it’s not too tight or too loose — just a clean, regular fit that looks good on its own or tucked in. The material feels comfortable and not overly stiff, which is nice since I wear it all day. It has a crisp look but still feels soft enough to wear without feeling like you’re in a dress shirt all day. The stitching and buttons seem strong, and the shirt holds up well after washing without shrinking or losing shape. I also like that it’s easy to iron (or even just hang up right after drying) and it still looks presentable. The collar stays in place and the overall style is simple and classic, so it works for interviews, work, or even going out. For the price, this shirt is a great value. It looks more expensive than it is, and I’d definitely buy another color. If you’re looking for a reliable everyday dress shirt that fits well and looks clean, this is a solid option.

Nice shirts! Fit perfectly!
Color: Dark Green, Size: Large
REALLY nice shirts! Bought dark green and black for my 23 year old son before he left for his six month cruise job to East Asia and they look to not wrinkle at all, plus they fit perfectly and look great! He's 5' 10" and about 170 lbs and wears a large. It fits a little loose, but he likes it that way. I would highly recommend these shirts!

Color is off, but still a nice shirt.
Color: Brown, Size: X-Large, Color: Brown, Size: X-Large
The shirt is great as far as quality. Material is very nice. Hubby wears an XL, and I bought the XL and it fit him perfectly. He is 5'11" and weighs 210lbs. The reason I gave a 4 star, and not a 5 star is because I ordered the brown color. When you look at the brown option on the color option, you will see from my pictures posted that I did not receive a brown shirt. What I received was more like a rust color or a copper color. I kept it because I actually liked it. But Amazon needs to do better with their color descriptions. If you're looking for a genuine brown color, this is not the shirt for you.
