Drinkers keen to broaden their horizons and become more adventurous in their elbow-bending will certainly find something new in this alternative almanac, which celebrates every day of the year with an appropriate alcoholic drink—from absinthe to martinis, and from monastic beers to Zinfandel. Each date also contains a nugget of history, so that you can toast David Bowie's birthday with his beloved Coldharbour Lager, or sip a Rum Old-Fashioned as you ponder the horrors of the 1919 Boston Molasses Flood.
