First published in 1862, this seminal work in bartending was the first drink book ever published in the United States. Collected here by Jerry Thomas—America’s most famous bartender—are dozens of cocktail recipes, from old standards to mixes invented by Thomas himself, including his trademark drink, The Blue Blazer. Guides for mixing drinks of all categories—including sours, fizzes, and highballs—are included along with instructions on using various bartending tools, from jiggers to ponies and beyond. This is a nostalgic and delicious homage to a drinking era that is gone but not forgotten.

This review is from: How to Mix Drinks or The Bon Vivant's Companion: The Bartender's Guide (Hardcover)
This is the first bar book. First published in 1862.
The recipes prove it. I am using a technique toward the back of the book to make an Effervescent Cocktail, which involves tartaric acid and sodium bicarbonate stired into the drink at the end. Who says molecular mixology is a new fad?

This book is lame. It's just a useless relick. So many better books. Don't waste your money unless you just want to use it as a display.
