Beginning with the ancient days of wassail and hypocras (mixed drinks based on wine and beer), they narrate a tumultuous and vibrant history that stretches through the Age of Exploration, the boozier parts of the Enlightenment and America's hurly-burly nineteenth century, to the Disco years, the Cosmo years, and the modern Cocktail Revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKotz's intricate, masterful drawings illustrate stories that have never been properly told and introduce key characters who haven't yet received their due.
