After all, do you really want to be fumbling with pages while following cocktail recipes (especially after you've had a few drinks)? Enjoy the convenience of our spiral edition for greater cocktail-mixing ease: ISBN: 1626543038 Both supreme gentility and extraordinary fun characterized London's high society in the 1930s. When The Savoy Cocktail Book was first published, it not only enriched the style of the times-it became part of it. Into the next millennium, The Savoy Hotel continues to evoke a world of elegance and style, and this updated edition features several new cocktails including the Millennium Cocktail, created by Peter Dorelli, the former Savoy head barman. This compendium attempts to cover everything about drinks and drinking, especially the art of cocktail creation, presentation, and consumption. With over 750 classic cocktail recipes, The Savoy Cocktail Book allows you to recreate the tradition of sophisticated soirées at The Savoy time and time again. Harry Craddock left America during Prohibition to work as a cocktail barman for The American Bar at London's Savoy Hotel. Published in the wake of Prohibition, his Savoy Cocktail Book captures the spirit of the times with its historic recipes and vibrant illustrations. Craddock has been credited with popularizing many drinks and the invention of a number of classic cocktails, such as the White Lady and Corpse Reviver #2. Review: カクテルのレシピ本として世界最高峰の一冊です - カクテルの本当の魅力を引き出すためのレシピ本として推奨されています Review: Good quality printing! - A nice printing. I thought that the margins would bother me but they don't at all. Quirky recipes, they aren't all good and/or easy to figure out proportions, but they've all been fun. This is a classic and I am happy to have it.

Essential Reading
I have a small collection of a few dozen books on cocktails and had been meaning to get this one for a while. I am delighted that I did so. So far as I can tell, it is a beautifully produced facsimile of the 1930's original, with the original text and illustrations, in colour, printed on good quality paper. It also has a brief contemporary introduction with a few suggestions from the current staff at the Savoy American Bar. Frankly, I find it incredible that some other reviewers have questioned the quality of this publication. These 1930's cocktails are very much to my taste, as they are generally short, sharp and alcoholic. These are strong drinks for a generation that had been through WW1. The author's comments are also often very funny. For more contemporary cocktail concoctions, mainly of fruit juices and fizzy drinks, it is better to look elsewhere. Note also that as this is a facsimile, the drinks are simply in alphabetical order. You will get no assistance in terms of an ingredients index. Not the first cocktail book for a novice, but well worth acquiring if you get a taste for these things.
