How to Mix Drinks: A Bartender's Manual

Serve with a Smile

Featuring a newly updated Cover. As many of George Winter's cocktail recipes encourage to "serve with a smile", his philosophy regarding his bartending duties is nicely summaried in this quote: " In short, he should sympathize with those who are not feeling well, appear jolly to those who are apparently light-hearted, and in general use good judgment in his conversation with all whom he comes in contact."

Written by George Winter in 1884, this is one of the early manuals putting the cocktail recipes in writing.

All 90+ recipes from the original 1884 book are included; ranging from sours, cobblers, cordials, lings, smashes, fizzes and punches. Don't miss the Champagne sour, whisky sour, mint julip, Tom and Jerry, and many more. George also goes through the duties of the bartender, stock required in a saloon and more.

Review excerpt:
National Barbecue News; March 2013 issue:
... "How to Mix Drinks: A Bartender's Manual by George Winter and Jack's Manual: Recipes for Fancy Mixed Drinks and When and How to Serve by J. A. Grohusko were both brought back to print by editor Cam Reese and we should all be grateful for the efforts. The drink recipes within each are certainly still valid today but it is the writings of these two original authors that you'll really enjoy. It's really cool to be able to get in the heads of two turn-of-the century barmen. ..."
