Classic Cocktails of the Prohibition Era: 100 Classic Cocktail Recipes

This stunning follow-up to Mr. Collins’ popular book, The Art of the Cocktail, comes complete with recipes, serving suggestions, and beautiful photos of these contraband thirst-quenchers–portrayed in the authentic glasses of the era. 100 color photos.

Review by PonyExpress for Classic Cocktails of the Prohibition Era: 100 Classic Cocktail Recipes
Rating:
…Or, you should seek it out from Amazon’s search service. A pity it’s apparently out of stock as of this writing. One classic, 20’s-era cocktail recipe to a page, facing a beautifully photographed and art-directed still life of the drink itself, with the appropriate little “props”. We’ve tried to recreate some recipes from this book on special occasions(lots of well-known classics-and some very unknown ones)-two is about all anyone can handle-shaken, not stirred!-but the book is a great stand-alone gift even for teetotalers who love the elegant style of the prohibition era.
