Originally published in 1896, Bariana: Recueil de toutes boissons américains et anglaises-written by Louis Fouquet, head barman at The Criterion in Paris-is regarded as the first French cocktail book. Although the title implies there are many American and British mixed drinks in this volume, there are also creations that are truly unique to France within these pages. The barware that was also illustrated in this volume demonstrates the level of sophistication that Parisien bartenders were able to achieve in the thirty years after mixed drinks made their appearance in French drinking culture around 1862, when the wine industry was stuck a near-fatal blow with the introduction of phylloxera. This facsimile edition is reproduced from the 1902 edition found in the book collection at Exposition Universelle des Vins et Spirtueux on Île de Bendor in southern France.

Translated and annotated by award-winning mixologist Charles Vexenat, Mixellany's Bariana: A Practical Compendium of All American and British Drinks provides a fascinating glimpse into the Golden Age of French cocktails. Originally published in 1896, Bariana: Recueil pratique de toutes boissons Americaines et Anglaises by Louis Fouquet is regarded as the second French cocktail book ever published. But there is no question that Bariana is the first heralded French cocktail book--unveiled in the popular Almanach Hachette encyclopaedia on practical life and introduced the phenomenon of a nouveau genre of mixed drinks. Mixellany's Bariana: A Practical Compendium of All American and British Drinks is a passionate portrayal of what can be learnt from studying and adapting the past to the modern mixological repertoire.
