Nineteenth-Century Cocktail Creations: How to Mix Drinks – A Bar Keeper’s Handbook

The recent cocktail renaissance has given rise to a quest for historically accurate cocktail recipes – and what could be more historic than the original cocktail recipe books, published more than a century ago? George Winter’s collection, released in 1884, includes nineteenth-century versions of such classics as the Manhattan, the Mint Julep, and the Tom Collins, as well as less-familiar creations, such as the Hot Scotch Whiskey Sling and the Rum Sour. This facsimile edition, published as part of the Classic Cocktail Guides and Retro Bartender Books series, includes a resource section to help you find or recreate those hard-to-find cocktail ingredients.
