The Ideal Bartender 1917 Reprint, Hardcover

This slim volume contains recipes for 173 of Tom Bullock's most famous and popular cocktails.

Valuable as a mixological reference as well as a historic document, Tom Bullock's The Ideal Bartender is a remarkable volume and a must-have for anyone who strives to craft the finest cocktails.
