David Wondrich Gives A History Lesson On Punch

So, yeah, you’ve whipped up a batch of eggnog from scratch and you even lived on the wild side by using raw egg whites. But are you truly ready to delve deep into the history and tradition behind punch?

Written by David Wondrich, the witty bard behind Imbibe! and Vintage and Forgotten Cocktails, Punch focuses on the magical properties behind the communal punch bowl. And not the hangover inducing Jungle Juice that you consumed at frat parties.

Wondrich explores the punches that were consumed by the founders of nations, defenders of freedom, and tyrants alike.

If Wondrich’s previous works are any indication, this work will be thoroughly researched, humorous, full of tempting recipes, and will avoid the proclamations of drinking dogma that are too common in other cocktail books.
