How to Mix Drinks
Or The Bon Vivant’s Companion

by Jerry Thomas

The Original Cocktail Guide

A delicious and nostalgic collection of classic recipes,
How to Mix Drinks
is
the
original cocktail guide written by the father of American mixology. This Delightful edition of the first ever published cocktail book includes contemporary illustrations, 300 recipes as well as glossaries and tricks of the trade to help you create the perfect cocktail.

First published 150 years ago, Jerry Thomas’s Original Cocktail Guide marks the first time today’s classics were set down in print. From old standards to mixes invented by Thomas himself (including Thomas’s signature drink, the Blue Blazer, which involves lighting whiskey and passing it back and forth between two mixing glasses, creating an arc of flame), the book contains guides for mixing drinks of all categories – including sours, fizzes and highballs. Along with instructions on using various bartending tools, from jiggers to ponies and beyond and a glossary to help all bon vivants remember their demijohns from their drachms, this is a nostalgic and delicious homage to a drinking era that is gone but not forgotten.

‘300 recipes for drinks, including smashes, fizzes and cocktails, the last being “a modern invention generally used on sporting parties”.
