Overview
A fun little book packed with historic Churchill information, drinking companions, locations, and preferences, as well as plenty of cocktail recipes!
Ā
Churchill was seldom short of a witty remark, and made his views on drinking quite well-known: āI have taken far more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me.ā When feeling down he said he felt like āa bottle of champagne . . . left uncorked for the night.ā And when encouraging a young government minister to indulge in another drink, he promised, āGo ahead, I wonāt write it in my diary.ā
Divided into four sectionsāDrink Choices, Drinking Companions, Drinking Spots, and Drink Recipesāthis bookĀ will keep readers turning the pages of fresh and fun material as they lift a drink along with Winston. The book will also focus on the various erasāfrom the 1910s through the 1960sāthe times in which he was drinking alone and with others. Working with the historic companies that kept him refreshed, it will include vintage advertisements and marketing material from their closely guarded archives.
Winston certainly drank with a colorful cast of characters, and youāll glimpse those such as FDR, Stalin, Coco Chanel, Charlie Chaplin, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and various other kings, queens, dukes, and duchesses. Among the elegant settings we will pop in and out of for a drink include Hearst Castle, Chanelās house in the South of France, the Ritz Hotel in Paris, the Dorchester in London, Monaco, the Savoy, the Biltmore, and of course the bars and first-class cabins of the famed ocean liners the Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mary.Ā Ā
So raise a glass and join us inĀ toasting Churchillās life and unique abilities!
