Boca Raton, FL, July 13, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Iconic Spirits: An Intoxicating History, by Mark Spivak, the most eagerly awaited spirits book of the year, is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com.
Iconic Spirits (hardcover, $16.95) will be published on November 6 by Lyons Press (Globe Pequot) in an attractive gift format with color illustrations. Spivak chronicles the tales of twelve spirits that changed the world and forged the cocktail culture. Some are categories and others are specific brands, but they all have riveting and untold yarns. “These are the best kinds of stories,” he says. “They are the type a writer could never make up.”
Writing in an engaging and appealing style, Spivak reveals the interplay between alcohol, history and culture. What was the connection between moonshine and NASCAR? How did a pile of juniper berries almost bring down the British empire? Why was absinthe considered to be the most dangerous substance on earth? Did the Colt revolver really settle the West, or did whiskey actually subdue the frontier?
