Boothby's World Drinks and How to Mix Them 1907 Reprint, Paperback/William Boothby

Descriere

Description Unabridged reproduction of "Boothby's World Drinks and How to Mix Them" from 1907. This book, published before prohibition, has over 500 mixed drinks, including one of the first references of the 'Dry Martini' It is a fantastic "unabridged encyclopedia of all popular beverages" of that time. Broken down by liquor, this allowed a bartender to supply the order like an expert because he could reference it in this book under the bar. Forget about bar bibles or encyclopedias, what about drinks that people really used? As so few bar books were written and even fewer survived at all from the past 100 years, it a great pleasure to be able to bring these drinks that were used at the time to our modern attention and use.
