A complete reproduction of the 1926 The Cocktail Book with a new introduction by Ross Bolton.With over 160 drinks in all, The Cocktail Book is a great addition for any bar. This book, also known as A Sideboard Manual for Gentlemen, was published right in the middle of the U.S. prohibition (1920 to 1933), in London by the publishers John Hamilton.It appears this book really got around, as there are several books with the same name and same substance floating around; 1900 by Page, 1901 by R. L. Paget, 1928 by the Botolph Society and Page, this one from 1926, and one in 1933 by John MacQueen.Luckily these books all had the same purpose, an easy guide to popular drinks to be made at home. It features the Blue Blazer (Blazes), Bacardi Dry, Navy, New Orleans, Florida, Absinthe, as well as standard favorites, the Marguerite, Martini, Manhattan, Whiskey Sour, Mint Julep, and a few Fizz, Flip, Cooler, Cup, and Cobblers.

Very essential, there's nearly nothing other than the cocktails recipes. There is, actually, a short introduction and the story - quite unlikely, I must say, but fun - of how the name `cocktail' came about. At the end there are some tips on how to properly handle a dinner, as far as alcohol is concerned.
Then the book is just cocktail recipes, lots of them, grouped - it appeared - more or less chronologically: first the old fashioned, then the newest, then some very new one. There is even a section of non-alcoholic recipes.
I bought it because I'm interested in Prohibition. I think some of these recipes are not connected with the American Prohibition and are more European. I mean, it can be a bit deceiving, but this is a fun book nonetheless. (
