Message 1. The Martini is American -- it is not European, Asian, or African. Message 2. The Martini is urban and urbane -- it is not rural or rustic. Message 3. The Martini is a high-status, not a low-status, drink. Message 4. The Martini is a man's, not a woman's, drink. Message 5. The Martini is optimistic, not pessimistic. Message 6. The Martini is the drink of adults, not of children. Message 7. The Martini belongs to the past, not to the present. The Simple Messages Reconsidered -- The Ambiguities of the Martini. Ambiguity 1. The Martini is civilized -- the Martini is uncivilized. Ambiguity 2. The Martini unites -- the Martini separates."In this engaging look at the classic cocktail, Lowell Edmunds traces the history of the Martini back to its American origins in the nineteenth century. Exploring literary and dramatic works as well as newspapers, magazines, cartoons, bartenders' manuals, distillery brochures, and other documents of popular culture, Edmunds finds in the Martini's image the same ambiguities that characterize American life."--Jacket.MartiniGetränkgnd(DE-588)4501294-5Martinisfast(OCoLC)fst01010895Drinking customsfast(OCoLC)fst00898195Drinking customsUnited StatesHistoryMartinisUnited StatesfastHistory.MartiniMartinis.Drinking customs.Drinking customsHistory.Martinis.641.8/74Edmunds Lowell206633Edmunds Lowell206633MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910524705503321Martini, Straight Up2784184UNINA
