Lawyerly Libations, Concoctions for the Counselor, Apéritifs for the Attorney, Elixirs for the Esquire, and Additional Alcoholic Anecdotes: A Cocktail Compilation for the Burgeoning Barrister’s Bar Book

Synopsis: The 21st Amendment to the United States Constitution brought an end to the “Great Experiment” known as Prohibition. It may have been illegal for the average citizen to buy and sell alcohol from January 1920 to December 1933, but that didn’t mean Americans had been sober for nearly 14 years. Far from it, actually!

As we near a full century since Prohibition’s repeal, this book celebrates that momentous event by pairing the cocktail history and recipes of 21 classic alcoholic beverages with tales of legal lunacy, regulatory ridiculousness, and curious criminality. Written in the style of a scholarly legal journal, or law review, this work is sure to entertain mixologists, history-lovers, and attorneys alike.

There's a whole cast of characters you won't want to miss, including George Washington, 3 members of the Key family, Igor Stravinsky, Theodore Roosevelt, Al Capone, 2 men charged with a DUI after riding horses while completely plastered, zombies, and so, so much more! You might even learn a thing or two!
