The classic bar guide that launched a generation of cocktail lovers is back—completely updated. With its cloth binding evoking a Jazz Age guide to speakeasies and its charming illustrations that could have come from a period magazine, this most influential cocktail book is reissued in a newly updated edition. Spanning the cocktail spectrum from classic to contemporary, it includes all the information the cocktail lover or mixologist needs to create the perfect drink in a stylishly retro package, making it an elegant, sophisticated gift as well as an indispensable companion for home or professional entertaining. With 500 recipes and an easy-to-use index arranged by drink categories, this bar book is replete with fascinating stories behind the genesis of each cocktail, its creators, and component liquors—as well as a guide to bartending equipment and a glossary of bar terms and measurements. Charles Schumann, whose appreciation of design and drinks is legendary, is the ideal guide to the perfect drink. Based on the menus at his iconic establishments—Harry’s New York Bar, then Schumann’s American Bar, which later became simply Schumann’sBar—each recipe focuses on quality and balance.

More than a practical guide for creating delightfully cool tropical drinks, this book steers the reader through the Caribbean; the spirit of the region captured in myths and stories about rum and other delivious drinks. Excerpts from the writing of Ernest Hemingway, Toni Morrison, Graham Greene and Jane Bowles combine with over 150 recipes to capture the mood of life in the tropics. Divided into chapters on daiquiris, rum drinks, tequila and mescal drinks, fruit punches, and non-alcoholic drinks, the recipes in this book include swimming pool coladas, West Indian punch and frozen matadors, as well as more common concoctions. Directions on setting up a tropical bar, glossaries of spices, additives and tropical fruits, and the discussion of liquors themselves and their distillation process are also included. The recipes is illustrated with Gunter Mattei's hand-coloured engravings evoking the mystique of the Caribbean and the romantic associations of the grandeur of the islands.
