Bartender At Large

Pull up a chair for a spirited lesson in modern history with Dr. Steven Parissien, historian and Oxford fellow, as he discusses his captivating new book, *Another Round: A Post-War History of Britain in Twelve Strong Drinks. He makes the point that the nation's social and cultural shifts, from postwar austerity to postmodern plurality, can be traced through the rise and fall of its iconic cocktails. From the gin and tonic's imperial echoes to the cosmopolitan's signal of a new, global Britain, Steven reveals how each drink is a potent symbol of its era. He brings his unique dual perspective as a respected academic and a former beverage advertising executive to decode the hidden narratives in our glassware.
