The Hour: A Cocktail Manifesto Review
What an entertaining read! If you enjoy a good cocktail, and the ritual of mixing a drink and sharing them with friends then you will enjoy this book. I borrowed a copy from the library, but I will definitely be buying a few copies to give as gifts this holiday season. The author has a great satirical style, but also conveys the magical transition from workday stress to fellowship with friends and loved ones with a little help from "the sovereign solvent".

Product Overview
One part celebration, one part history, two parts manifesto, Bernard DeVoto's The Hour is a comic and unequivocal treatise on how and why we drink — properly. The Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning author turns his shrewd wit on the spirits and attitudes that cause his stomach to turn and his eyes to roll — warning: this book is not for rum drinkers. DeVoto instructs his readers on how to drink like gentlemen and sheds new light on the simple joys of the cocktail hour. Daniel Handler's introduction to this reprint of the 1950s classic provides a humorous framework for the modern reader.
