Take a step back in time with these cocktail recipes. Is it any wonder that mankind stands open-mouthed before the bartender, considering the mysteries and marvels of an art that borders on magic? The recipes found in this book have been composed and collected, tried and tested, in a quarter-century of experience by Tom Bullock of the St. Louis Country Club. Originally published in 1917, prohibition soon hit which left Bullock practicing an illegal profession. He was the first African-American bartender to publish a cocktail manual. George Herbert Walker, grandfather of George W. Bush’s great-grandfather and a St. Louis Country Club member, wrote the introduction to the book. “I doubt if he has erred in even one of his concoctions,” Walker wrote of Bullock. Copies of the original book are exceptionally rare, but we have brought them back for you to enjoy.
