The old, original classic cocktail book. 1st home to iconic cocktails such as the French 75, Blood & Sand, and many others. The art deco illustrations aren't bad either. (

LOVE this book. Its main purpose is, of course, to provide cocktail recipes, and on that front it is very useful indeed. The bonus is that it's also an education on all types of alcoholic drinks popular at the time of original publication, extremely stylish and occasionally hilarious, with lovely little pithy anecdotes and cartoon illustrations. I stumbled across this book by accident, I think on a remainder table, and am so glad that I did. (
