"Care for a Morning Glory Cocktail, a Blue Blazer, or a Philadelphia Julep? Recipes for these and hundreds of other tasty libations appear in this landmark volume. Originally published in 1862, Jerry Thomas' Bartenders Guide is widely considered by drink historians as the first serious American book on cocktails and punches.

""There are so many bartending recipes in this book, it's doubtful you'll need any other guide."" - The Paperback Stash.

AUTHORS: ""The father of American mixology,"" Jerry Thomas (183085) wrote the first cocktail book and was the most famous bartender of his era. The proprietor of saloons in California and New York, he developed showy techniques and engaged in heavy self-promotion.
