Today I welcome a dear friend and fellow podcaster to the show — Caro Griffin!

Caro is the host of Between Drinks podcast and newsletter  — where she shares her international travels and recounts the history of different beverages. You should definitely subscribe to her newsletter and tune in on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere you listen.

In this conversation, Caro shares her five favorite books about alcoholic & non-alcoholic beverages. We also explore the story of the woman behind champagne, why coffee was almost illegal, the global impact of Coca-Cola, and the many reasons we love cocktail bars.

Here are the books we discuss:

• Girly Drinks by Mallory O'Meara
• The Widow Cliquot by Tilar Mazzeo
• A History of the World in Six Glasses by Tom Standage
• And a Bottle of Rum by Wayne Curtis
• The Way of the Cocktail: Japanese Traditions, Techniques, and Recipes by Julia Momosé
