About SPIRITED WOMEN:

A toast to the trailblazing women who are shaking up the cocktail industry, from distillers and blenders to bar owners and spirits educators.

Alcohol and spirits have long been thought of as a male-dominated field, but the truth is that women have been serving it up for centuries. (Literally—the first distilling technology is believed to have been invented by a woman in 100 CE!) Today, there are so many amazing women all over the world currently shaking up the biz, and it’s time we raise a glass. In this fun, feminist, vibrantly illustrated book, bar professional Sammi Katz and artist Olivia McGiff celebrate 55 of these groundbreaking women, telling their stories through profiles and original cocktail recipes, all inspired by their spirits—in every sense of the word. This colorful book of unsung heroines will have you raising a glass to the dame and the dram!
