The Savoy Cocktail Book: The Unabridged Classic

The Unabridged Classic--Updated & Expanded First published in London in the 1930s while the US was still in Prohibition, The Savoy Cocktail Book continues to set the standard for mixology excellence. This enhanced edition from Echo Point Publishing shares those ideals, and goes one step further by encouraging aspiring mixologists to add new creations to their lists.

Harry Craddock was the bartender's bartender who served the distinguished clientele of London's elegant Savoy Hotel. The legendary mixologist captured the spirit of the times in this thoroughly delightful collection of over 750 cocktail recipes. Craddock is credited with popularizing many familiar classic drinks, including several that he invented himself, most notably the White Lady and the Corpse Reviver#2.

This enhanced edition includes important extras from experienced mixologist Will Bissonnette on the topics of:

The well-stocked home bar; Cocktail philosophy, or how to design and mix your own original creations; Glossary of ingredients-the original Savoy had an impressive beverage list, several of which are now rare or impossible to find, so included is a list of suitable substitutes; Glossary of measures. Period Art Deco design throughout the book reflects the elegance of the 1930s. Readers will recognize many of the drinks-still popular today-and rediscover many more classics worthy of reviving. The Savoy Cocktail Book has been a staple for bartenders the world over for many decades and is a must for beverage connoisseurs and everyone wishing to learn the art of mixing the perfect libation.
