Straub's Manual of Mixed Drinks: A Facsimile of the 1913 Edition (Classic Cocktail Guides and Retro Bartender Books) Paperback – July 15, 2014

Fabulous book written in 1913 by the famous bartender who first invented many of the classic cocktails we know and love to this day. It has a wonderful section in the back showing ads for the original liquors used, many of which are still on the market. The recipes are excellent and stand the test of time. A must to have on hand for anyone who loves mixing drinks; makes a great gift with a bottle of classic spirts for any cocktail-loving friends or established mixologists.
