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.
