In Straight Up or On the Rocks, Grimes dives into how the cocktail is more than a drink consumed on ice in bars, but how America has used it to established its culture and character both on home soil as well as in Europe. His claim that America has given much to the world, and should take pride in the cocktail, flavors the book as we are guided from the very humble beginnings in a colonial tavern to the believed second coming of mixed drinks today, a millennium after their introduction. From the classic martini glass that is now the symbol of late night neon bars everywhere to the speakeasies that kept the booze afloat, Grimes brings about the cocktail as a symbol of pure invention and modernity. Something that reflects our popular culture of the time just as our clothing or music choice.
