Descripción: Join international beverage journalist and expert Jeff Cioletti as he explores the tradition, consumption, and production of alcohol on every continent.

How about making your own onion-infused vodka for a bold bloody Mary? You’ll get to drink along with 130 recipes from exotic brands and renowned international cocktail personalities.ReviewThis isn’t a well-traveled vinophile’s braggy biography or a showboat boasting about his boozy knowledge.

I don’t know how much time he spends on the road, but his mastery over the spirits of distant lands makes me wonder if he ever makes it home. THE DRINKABLE GLOBE is an absolute must for anyone serious about cocktails and the liquors they contain."―Jeff Alworth, Author, The Beer Bible"The best way to be a citizen of the world is to drink local. Jeff Cioletti has imbibed, poured, toasted, and enjoyed drinks across the globe and in this book he takes us on the journey.

His THE DRINKABLE GLOBE shows us where to drink. Thirsty travellers reading of Cioletti’s adventures in nearly every quarter of the planet can be forgiven if they abandon their armchairs and start boarding planes.
