review 1: Have you ever considered how much influence alcohol has had on history? It's not really shocking, but it's very interesting to read a history told from that perspective.Before the cocktail there was...Punch. This book tells about the 2-3 hundred years when it was popular.The author's writing style makes this a very enjoyable read, very witty.There are several recipes included as well, the "olde english" original recipes are included (along with the translated current version).
review 2: An interesting read, though I lost interest halfway through. There are very good recipes in this title, but if you are just skimming the book for them, it will be a little difficult. The recipes come with a short explanation, the old recipe, and an updated prep explanation. Yo... moreu will not see a line-item list of quantities and materials in this book. I tried the warm whiskey punch recipe from it and it was excellent. less
