Drink and the City
This book uses Nottingham, a city in the East Midlands of England, as a case study to examine changing attitudes and responses to drinking and alcohol problems in the UK from the 1950s to early 2000s. Based on original research drawn from local archives and oral histories, it examines responses to drink and drink problems over time, comparing local developments with those nationally. In the 1950s pub going and drinking were viewed by city inhabitants as essential activities, just as now. Author Alan Sillitoe's Nottingham-based novel Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1958) describes Saturday night as "the best and bingiest glad-time of the week." For the majority of people, drinking and occasional drunkenness were acceptable and tolerated aspects of everyday life. However, in the 1950s, the idea of the 'alcoholic', a medical as well as moral phenomenon, surfaced in society.The book describes how, as this view took hold in the 1960s, it became associated locally with poverty, and viewed in the extreme terms as a problem of the vagrant alcoholic. The vagrants' ever-presence in the city, coupled with their unsanitary drinking, gave the place an unwholesome look. In subsequent decades, street drinkers continued to inform the local approach and went through a number of transformations; from the hooligan/ drunken football fan of the 1980s to the young binge drinker of the late 1990s/early 2000s.

The Ramos Gin Fizz
The Ramos Gin Fizz was invented sometime around 1890 by Henry Charles "Carl" Ramos at his Imperial Cabinet saloon in New Orleans. It includes lemon and lime juice, egg white, cream, and orange flower water, and, shaken properly, it becomes a foamy white concoction that has been called "the nectar of New Orleans," "the Cadillac of Cocktails," and "the Crescent City's most notable contribution to civilized tippling." This book offers a history of the drink and a biography of its inventor, starting with the early years in which the Ramos Gin Fizz became nationally famous as a New Orleans icon. Although Prohibition almost put an end to it in New Orleans, it survived elsewhere--for instance, at the Cadillac Bar in Nuevo Laredo--and after Prohibition's repeal, the drink quickly recovered and was once again a New Orleans favorite. In the 1940s and '50s, it became known as a sophisticated and glamorous drink, popular with celebrities such as Frank Sinatra and Tennessee Williams. Like many classic American cocktails, the Ramos Gin Fizz was eclipsed by fruity disco drinks in the 1970s and '80s (although it had a strange shadow life as a California brunch drink). With the cocktail revival at the turn of the century, however, it was again recognized as an American classic. The Ramos Gin Fizz attempts to reconstruct Ramos's original recipe using modern ingredients and addresses the question of how and how much to shake the drink, a subject on which there is surprisingly much to be said. Offering recipes for the original drink, a modern version, and many imaginative riffs, this eminently readable book is a must-have for any cocktail lover's library.

The Obituary Cocktail
In a city known for celebrating in the face of death, it's no surprise that the funerary tradition is honored by a drink. The Obituary Cocktail is a spirited dive into New Orleans's bohemian past, chronicling how this cocktail--made with gin, vermouth, and absinthe--became central to mid-twentieth-century caf矇 society before fading temporarily into obscurity. Like a good obituary, this book shares stories about the drink, beginning with its 1940s origins at Caf矇 Lafitte, the oldest continuously operating gay bar in the U.S. and the stomping ground for the city's caf矇 society, which included Tennessee Williams, Ella Brennan, and a rich crop of prominent New Orleans visitors. Sue Strachan explores the history of the cocktail's ingredients, shares recipes for home mixologists, and resurrects the stories of other morbidly monikered drinks. With detours into the world of secret societies, second-line parades, and celebrations of deathly holidays like Halloween and All Saints' Day, The Obituary Cocktail gives new life to this unique beverage.
