Drinks as They Are Mixed: A Manual of Quick Reference Containing Upward of 300 Recipes for Mixing and Serving Drinks

Drinks as They Are Mixed: A Manual of Quick Reference Containing Upward of 300 Recipes for Mixing and Serving Drinks. Chicago: Frederick J. Drake and Co, (1904).

Undated printing (possibly pre-Prohibition, though the boards are the same as a 1934 printing in our possession). Original cloth covered boards, 6 inches by 3 inches. "An Invaluable Companion to all who are Engaged in the Liquor Business. Including Toasts and Sentiments for all Occasions." Illustrated. Lowe, who may have bar tended at the Hoffman House states in the preface that his hair is "whitened by the shaved ice and powdered sugar of many a sweltering summer". Lowe is presumed to have created the variant of the Gibson Cocktail in which bitters are replaced by three dashes of Angostura, with half the cognac and an addition of barspoon of gum. Very Good.

Price: $250.00
