COCKTAIL BOOK (BRITISH LIBRARY)

First published in 1900, this the earliest book devoted purely to the art of the cocktail. For thirty years including Prohibition, it was a staple of well-stocked bars, although originals are now extremely rare. This collection, in a beautiful new edition, allows a modern audience to rediscover the joy of classic cocktails, with early recipes for the Whisky Sour, Mint Julep, Manhattan, and many more - both a curiosity for connoisseurs and a practical guide to mixing classic drinks at home.
