- A Life-Time Collection of 688 Recipes for Drinks

London, Herbert Jenkins Limited, 1934. First edition. Cloth. A smart first edition of this vast collection of drinks recipes from cobblers and coolers to toddies. First edition. A collection of six hundred and eighty-eight recipes of the most useful and common drinks for bartenders at this time, scaled to a home bar size, and written in the typical jigger measurements. This volume covers Cobblers, Collins, Juleps, Rickeys, Sours, Slings, Smashes, Toddies, and much more. With both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. Some of the most delightful being the four dollar cocktail, the pink lady cocktail, or an automobile cooler. Rumored to have been written by Robert Vermeire, a Belgian-born bartender famous in London, though this has never been confirmed. Vermeire was most notable as the head bartender at the Embassy Club and as the author of "Cocktails: How to Mix Them" (1922), perhaps the most commercially successful bar guide of the era. In the original full cloth binding. Externally, very smart with minor wear to the extremities and the odd small mark to the boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd small spot. Bookseller's label to the front pastedown. Very Good Indeed . Ill.: None. Very Good Indeed .
