Spirited Women Makers, Shakers, and Trailblazers in the World of Cocktails

From the authors ofCocktails in Colorcomes a revolutionary celebration of the women who have shaped the spirits industry from ancient times to today.
Alcohol and spirits has long been thought of as a male-dominated field, but the truth is that women have been serving it up for centuries. (Literally-the first distilling technology is believed to have been invented by a woman in 100 CE.) Today, many women are shaking up the industry, from distillers and blenders to bar owners and spirits educators. In this fun, feminist, vividly illustrated book, bar professional Sammi Katz and illustrator Olivia McGiff celebrate the spirit and spirits of 55 of these groundbreaking women with profiles and recipes, in three areas of the industry: Makers (women who are directly involved in the development and production of spirits); Shakers (mixologists and bar owners); and Trailblazers (women who have influenced the spirits world in other ways, such as historians, authors, and entrepreneurs). Each profile is paired with a cocktail recipe that highlights each woman's story, including the Title IX (a favorite at Portland's female-owned sports bar The Sports Bra); Casual Brilliance (a take on a Sazerac, inspired by a whiskey distiller in Australia); and Le Donne (which features an amaro revived from near extinction by a family of Italian women). This colorful book of unsung heroines joyfully raises a glass to the dame and the dram!
This gorgeously illustrated cocktail book celebrates centuries of women's contributions to spirits and cocktail culture, from the invention of distilling to today's innovative bar programs. Perfect for anyone in search of drinking gifts for women, this comprehensive bartender book illuminates the often-overlooked stories of women who have revolutionized every aspect of the spirits industry.
