Cocktails

From the Introduction... "A cocktail is an appetizer or stomach stimulant and differs from other drinks in that it is supposed to contain Bitters. It is the purpose of this book to give the rules for the mixing of simple and well-known cocktails..." Cocktails: How to Make Them was published by Livermore and Knight Company in 1898. This edition published by Classic Cocktail Guides and Retro Bartender Books is a facsimile of the original text, and includes early versions of such classic cocktails as the Manhattan and the Rob Roy.
