In this three-part lecture series, expand the universe of your drink cabinet with a tour of cocktails and spirits around the world.

Course Description

Historians and writers Anistatia Miller and Jared Brown have devoted the past three decades to studying drink and drinking culture around the globe. In this three-part course, we’ll join them for a spirited international tour de libations—sipping from Singapore to Havana, Alberta, Barcelona, and beyond. We’ll trace the origins, adaptations, and migrations of signature drinks and look at the profiles of the spirits used to make them. By the end of this course, you’ll not only have an expanded cocktail repertoire and deeper knowledge of spirits, but also a greater appreciation for what, and how, people drink around the world.
