A HIS TORY OF THE CIT Y AND IT S SPIRIT S
COCKTAILS  ARE  COOL  AND  HISTORY  IS  HOT!  Drinking  Boston  reaches  a  wide  audience  that  includes  the  growing  ranks  of  craft  cocktail  enthusiasts  and  history  buffs,  particularly  those  who  are  interested  in  Prohibition.

From  the  camaraderie  of  the  Colonial  taverns  to  the  saloons  of  the  turn  of  the  century;Íž  from  Prohibition—a  period  rife  with  class  politics,  social  reform,  and  opportunism—to  a  trail  of  nightclub  neon  so  bright,  it  was  called  the  “Conga  Belt,â€?  Drinking  Boston  pays  tribute  to  the  fascinating  role  alcohol  has  played  throughout  the  city’s  history. Teasing  out  this  curious  relationship—in  particular,  the  clash  between  a  constrained  Puritanism  (lingering  like  a  hangover  today)  and  a  raucous  revolutionary  spirit—Drinking  Boston  introduces  the  cast  of  characters  who  FKDPSLRQHG RU YLOLÂżHG GULQNLQJ DQG WKH SODFHV ZKHUH WKH\ LPELEHG OHJDOO\ and  otherwise.  Visiting  some  of  Boston’s  most  storied  neighborhood  bars,  this  pub  crawl  ends  with  Boston’s  distinct  recipe  for  the  current  cocktail  renaissance  sweeping  the  nation.  Stephanie  Schorow  serves  up  a  remarkable  cocktail  representative  of  Boston’s  intoxicating  story:  its  spirit  of  invention,  its  hardscrabble  politics,  its  mythology,  and  the  city’s  never-Âending  battle  between  personal  free- dom  and  civic  reform.
STEPHANIE SCHOROW is the author of six books on boston history, including boston on fire: a history of fires and firefighting in boston, the cocoanut grove fire, the crime of the century: how the brink’s robbers stole millions and the hearts of boston, and the boston mob guide (with beverly ford). she has worked for the boston herald and the associated press.
