Everything you need ever know about choosing and mixing drinks is right here in this rare and highly collectible volume. Written by a legendary mixologist, it's the ultimate bartender's book, bursting with 750 recipes. Consisting mostly of cocktails, it comprises nonalcoholic drinks as well as sours, toddies, flips, egg nogs, slings, fizzes, coolers, rickeys, juleps, punches, and a myriad of other delectable refreshments. Extensive coverage of wines introduces the products of Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Champagne, as well as Rhine wines, port, and sherry. This special edition is richly illustrated with unique colour images from the original 1930 publication - dozens of period drawings that imbue the book with a lively Jazz Age spirit. A splendid gift for bartenders and housewarming parties, it's also a fine and comprehensive addition to home bars and libraries. AUTHOR: English bartender Harry Craddock (1875/761963) trained in the United States at Cleveland's grandest luxury hotel, the Hollenden, rising to prominence as one of the top mixologists of the twenties and thirties. During Prohibition, Craddock returned to England, where he worked at the American Bar of London's Savoy Hotel and cofounded the United Kingdom Bartenders Guild. "The Dean of Shakers," he is credited with inventing the dry martini as well as several classic cocktails, including Corpse Reviver No. 2 and the White Lady.

Essential Reading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 February 2013

Verified Purchase

I have a small collection of a few dozen books on cocktails and had been meaning to get this one for a while. I am delighted that I did so.

So far as I can tell, it is a beautifully produced facsimile of the 1930's original, with the original text and illustrations, in colour, printed on good quality paper. It also has a brief contemporary introduction with a few suggestions from the current staff at the Savoy American Bar. Frankly, I find it incredible that some other reviewers have questioned the quality of this publication.

These 1930's cocktails are very much to my taste, as they are generally short, sharp and alcoholic. These are strong drinks for a generation that had been through WW1. The author's comments are also often very funny. For more contemporary cocktail concoctions, mainly of fruit juices and fizzy drinks, it is better to look elsewhere.

Note also that as this is a facsimile, the drinks are simply in alphabetical order. You will get no assistance in terms of an ingredients index.

Not the first cocktail book for a novice, but well worth acquiring if you get a taste for these things.

This is perhaps a nice coffee table book owing to it's front cover

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 October 2016

This is perhaps a nice coffee table book owing to it's front cover, but offers little more. The paper is of a poor quality and pages are merely printed pictures (of text). Cocktails are listed in alphabetical order so it's difficult to read unless you know exactly what you're looking for. Claims to also offer Sours and Toddies.....there are a grand total of two of each and the sours don't use egg white. Not great

Fantastic stylish and full of little known Cocktails. The book has a nostalgic feel and many of the Cocktails were unknown to us. We are currently working our way through them and enjoying doing so.

A core piece of any bartender's library. All measurements in imperial, so a bit difficult to translate for the metric-minded.

Looks and feels like a cheap knockoff. As if the pages have been photocopied and stick together.

Don't Buy This ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 December 2011

Verified Purchase

.. unless you are happy with an inferior looking product. The book you will receive is not the one pictured. This runs the risk of being false advertising and the seller should be held to account for this by Amazon. The picture, and the details from the 'look inside' section, relate to the 1999 edition which, it seems from another reviewer, is of much better quality. The book I received was the 2011 edition which has a cream cover and feels cheap. So disappointing!
