Ever since the Wall Street Journal introduced its new Saturday weekend edition in 2005, one of its most popular features has been the "How's Your Drink?" cocktail column by Eric Felten, which illuminates the culture of the cocktail, showing how it has been an essential part of American life. Now, Felten has created his first How's Your Drink? book—an essential addition to the literature of spirits and cocktails, a staple for the library of any cultivated man, and a fantastic holiday gift title for hard-to-shop for husbands and fathers. How's Your Drink? (the title comes from the phrase with which Frank Sinatra habitually checked in with guests he entertained in his home) is an invaluable, erudite guide to culture, lore, and history of the cocktail.

Quotations
“In these desperate times of ‘apple-tinis,’ Red Bull and vodka, and low-carb beer, ‘How’s Your Drink?’ is a welcome and bracing tonic, a triumphant manifesto on cocktailing with style packed with more yarns and lore than a battalion of bartenders. Saluté!” Ted Allen from Top Chef, Iron Chef America, and Uncorked: Wine Made Simple Related News
In May, Eric Felten was named the 2007 James Beard Foundation Journalism Award winner in the category, “Newspaper Writing on Spirits, Wine or Beer."
