A FEW WORDS ABOUT THIS BOOK.
I suppose that most people know how to drink a cocktail,
but that only few of them can mix one: That was the incep
tion of this book.
Thus, I will give full instructions as to the mixing of all
well-known cocktails, and not only cocktails but also cobb
lers, egg noggs, fizzes, flips, frappes, highballs, juleps,pousse-
cafes, sours and toddies.
Above all, I will tell you, how with a comparatively trifling
expense it is possible to offer your friends first class drinks
at home.
During my practice as bartender in Sweden and abroad
(i. a. for seven years on the vessels of The Swedish American
Line) I have coliecied and composed a plurality of recipes of
various kinds of drinks, an abundant selection of which will
be found in this book.
Finally, I do not omit to let you now that I have previously
published a similar book of recipes in two editions, and that
on account of desires expressed rather frequently from various
quarters I have decided to place before the public this English
edition, containing the absolutely latest drinks composed.
