Martini, Straight Up

"In this engaging look at the classic cocktail, Lowell Edmunds traces the history of the Martini back to its American origins in the nineteenth century. Exploring literary and dramatic works as well as newspapers, magazines, cartoons, bartenders' manuals, distillery brochures, and other documents of popular culture, Edmunds finds in the Martini's image the same ambiguities that characterize American life."--Jacket.

המשפט הראשון: BERNARD DE VOTO called it the "supreme American gift to world culture," and H. L. Mencken said that it was "the only American invention as perfect as a sonnet."
