HOUSTON — If George Washington were celebrating July 4th, he might have enjoyed a glass of whiskey from his own distillery, which produced rye. Thomas Jefferson, on the other hand, loved his French wines, which were much harder to get back then. There were no Specs or Total Wine.
Meanwhile, the working class primarily enjoyed beer and cider. Today, we're much more adventurous with creative cocktails and the convenience of mixed drinks in a can.
