Derricott, Betty

From pre–Civil War bartending to the night clubs of the 1940s, these bar books document the trends and mores of their respective eras. Beginning with the first known recipe book compiled for those seeking to serve sophisticated beverages, through the birth of many of the 21st century's drink standards and the tales of those who consumed them, these drink guides provide an insider's glimpse into the excess and splendor of the pre- and post-Prohibition eras. Based on the actual bar book used by the Waldorf-Astoria prior to Prohibition, this collection of cocktails serves up more than 350 recipes. In addition to documenting the origin of many cocktails and mixed drinks still commonplace today, the book chronicles the background of their creation and the antics of some of the cronies—Buffalo Bill Cody and Bat Masterson, among others—who were regulars at the bar.

In addition to containing 236 recipes for beverages such as brandy, champagne, and gin cocktails; egg nogs; mulls; and punches, this recipe book provides step-by-step instructions for "manufacturing" cordials, liquors, and fancy syrups, including hints on distillation, filtration, and clarification.

This book is in TAGALOG, and is fully illustrated. When Tonton Young was born into this world, he was probably laughing instead of crying. For all through his young life, Tonton has filled other people's lives with laughter through his comic strip "Pupung" that first appeared in the Times Journal before moving on to the Manila Bulletin and went big with comics addicts. Funny but Tonton, a commerce graduate and an avid basketball fan, never really thought hed'd be a cartoonist someday. Circumstances led him to pick up his versatile pen again and resume a childhood interest. While attending to his mom who needed special care, he decided to do cartoons which did not require him to work on an eight-hour basis. Beneath those spectacles and boyish looks lie loads of talent. Young's art is really a commentary on the Pinoy and his homespun manner, best expressed in Filipino dialogue. A lover of children as his works show, a part of Tonton will forever stay young.
