Reviews
Far too often, what passes for history is nothing more than rehashed, undocumented folklore and myth, and this is especially true with ‘cocktail history.' Not so with this fine book, Mint Juleps with Teddy Roosevelt . It is well-researched and documented, while also immensely enjoyable to read." --Philip Greene, vice president, co-founder, and legal counsel of the Museum of the American Cocktail and author of To Have and Have Another: A Hemingway Cocktail Companion This charming and erudite book is full of surprises. I never dreamed that the presidents were such boozers! Pour yourself a toddy and ponder a vexing question: With which POTUS would you most like to raise a glass? Delightful read." —Charlotte Hays, author of When Did White Trash Become the New Normal? and co-author of Being Dead Is No Excuse If drinking in presidential politics is no laughing matter, then why did George Washington—as I learned from this book—name his favorite fox hounds ‘Drunkard,' ‘Tippler,' and ‘Tipsy'? Mark Will-Weber's Mint Juleps with Teddy Roosevelt is a fascinating and well-researched tour through the liquor cabinets of America's chief executives." —Michael P. Foley, associate professor at Baylor University and author of Drinking with the Saints: A Sinner's Guide to a Holy Happy Hour What a refreshing elixir Will-Weber serves up to readers. Not the usual stifling presidential history, Mint Juleps with Teddy Roosevelt gives a rare and frequently hilarious glimpse into the tippling habits of our commanders in chief, a topic few have dared to plumb with such depth. Rich with anecdotes and even drink recipes, this outstanding book should be polished off with a raised glass." —Tom Lowry, politics editor, CNBC Digital, "Far too often, what passes for history is nothing more than rehashed, undocumented folklore and myth, and this is especially true with 'cocktail history.'

Synopsis
Stroll through our country's memorable moments--from George Washington at Mount Vernon to the days of Prohibition, from impeachment hearings to nuclear weapons negotiations--and discover the role that alcohol played in all of them with Mark Will-Weber's Mint Juleps with Teddy Roosevelt: The Complete History of Presidential Drinking . As America transformed from fledgling nation to world power, one element remained constant: alcohol. The eighteenth century saw the Father of His Country distilling whiskey in his backyard. The nineteenth century witnessed the lavish expenses on wine by the Sage of Monticello, Honest Abe's inclination toward temperance, and the slurred speech of the first president to be impeached. Fast forward to the twentieth century and acquaint yourself with Woodrow Wilson's namesake whisky, FDR's affinity for rum swizzles, and Ike's bathtub gin. What concoctions can be found in the White House today? Visit the first lady's beehives to find out! In Mint Juleps with Teddy Roosevelt , you'll learn: * Which Founding Fathers had distilleries in their backyards * The teetotalers versus the car-totalers * Whose expensive tastes in vintages led to bankruptcy * Which commanders in chief preferred whiskey to whisky * The 4 C's: Cointreau, claret, Campari, and cocktails * The first ladies who heralded the "hair of the dog" and those who vehemently opposed it * The preferred stemware: snifter or stein? * Which presidents and staff members abstained, imbibed, or overindulged during Prohibition * Recipes through the ages: favorites including the Bermuda Rum Swizzle, Missouri Mule, and Obama's White House Honey Ale So grab a cocktail and turn the pages of Mint Juleps with Teddy Roosevelt for a unique and entertaining look into the liquor cabinets and the beer refrigerators of the White House.

- d***d (603)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaGreat seller. I asked three different sellers the same question about this CD. One did not respond. One said they didn't have time to answer. Valleys_Books_andMore were the only ones to not only answer, but took the time to send a couple pics as well. I purchased immediately after hearing from them. It was a smooth transaction and the CD was in better condition than advertised. Thanks guys!!Gold & Platinum (#396536393289)
- v***i (718)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaI have been humming the most prominent tune in this series, Ashokan Farewell," for days now and it finally prompted me to order the DVDs. The package just arrived this afternoon and I will see about retrieving my old DVD player to watch it all all over again this weekend. The description said it was in "good" shape, but it hardly looks used to my untrained eye. Great price ($10). Well packaged for the journey and delivered on time. Thanks!The Civil War - A Film by Ken Burns [DVD] (#365562425043)
