FOREWORD
Although many Cocktail Books have already
been published there has always been room for
a Standard Work and I was indeed glad to
hear that the United Kingdom Bartenders'
Guild had decided to publish this book.
Not only do they give a large selection of
Cocktails, but they publish the Index to their
Reference Library. At first sight this may not
appear to be anything out of the ordinary, but
when one realises that at last our Bartenders,
who mix the correct recipes, can definitely
prove this to any doubting customer, and that
the duplication of names can now be avoided
by reference to the Index, we all ought to be
grateful for the removal of two grievances—
the doubt as to the correct recipe and the
duplication of titles.
I wish the book every success and cordially
recommend it to the boys behind the bar.
