The introduction and part of chapter 1 from A Good Drink: In Pursuit of Sustainable Spirits by Shanna Farrell
“Insightful tour de force… Farrell’s writing is as informative as it is intoxicating” -Publishers Weekly
"Spirit enthusiasts are long overdue for this thoughtful exploration of what really goes into the bottles of our favorite liquors. Shanna Farrell's empathetic inquiry in her search for a good drink pushes us to reconsider how what we imbibe impacts our ecosystem, the cultural narratives we choose to preserve, and who gets to participate in the industry's innovation. Farrell's outlook is frank, yet hopeful; her effort here is sure to propel systemic transformation and thankfully, better drinks."
-Osayi Endolyn, James Beard Award-winning writer and co-author of The Rise: Black Cooks and the Soul of American Food
