1955 The U K B G Guide to Drinks (2nd edition revised)

discover that this volume is not confined solely to cocktails and whilst great attention has been paid to them we have also endeavoured to compile in these pages a real com pendium of useful information for the cocktail Bartender. It is with pleasure, therefore, that the Guild presents this book to its members in the sincere hope that it will eventually become universally accepted as the standard Book of Reference in our profession.

October, 1955. Our hope expressed above that the Guide to Drinks would be accepted as a standard book of reference has been more than fulfilled. The 1st edition has sold all over the world and has been such a success that we have pleasure now in presenting the 2nd edition. We may say that it has given us all the more pleasure that the demand has called for this new edition in the 21st Anniversary Year of the Guild. We would draw readers' attention to the fact that a number of corrections and amendments have been made to this edition and it has also been brought up to date as far as possible. One other important point is that in response to many requests we have included a complete Index to alt mixed drink recipes at the end of the book which we hope will be an improvement and make for still quicker reference for those searching for a recipe.

Any monies received in excess of the cost of production of this book will be devoted to the Welfare Fund of the United Kingdom Bartenders' Guild.
