The Cocktail Book: A Sideboard Manual for Gentlemen (1926)
Published during the cocktail’s heyday in Great Britain, this small volume—The Cocktail Book: A Sideboard for Gentlemen—demonstrates what every good private valet to any of London’s Bright Young People needed to know how to mix, shake, or stir between the two Great Wars.
Cocktails, smashes, cobblers, punches, cups, and the entire mixed drink repertoire including wine selection for dinner are to be found in this priceless volume.—Anistatia Miller
