A complete reproduction of the 1936 Burke's Complete Cocktail and Tastybite Recipes with a new introduction by Ross Bolton.
It couldn't have been said better than in the book itself, "The Art and Etiquette of Mixing, Serving, and Drinking Wines and Liquors."
At the cocktail hour it is more than just the beverage but the experience. This book has the drink recipes that were popular in the bar, as well as how to serve them, the equipment, the food snacks that should accompany them, and drink measurements.
In it one will find the 15 most popular cocktails, and "Barney" Burke's opinion on prohibitionists (of which this book came after their defeat).
This nice volume contains over 250 drinks including Between the Sheets, the Honeymoon and Merry Widow (listed right after each other???), a Princeton, the Blood and Sand, a T.N.T. Cocktail, the Fedora, the Yale and a Valedictorian's Assistant, a few Absinthe drinks, and a White Bear.
