T is a tragic fact indeed but
~
cocktail mixing in the
United States is a lost art.
Since the advent of prohibition
experienced (and wise) bartend–
ers have left for sunnier climes,
leaving drink mixing in the
hands of ignorant speakeasy
proprietors and amateur home
mixers whose idea of a cocktail
is some orange juice and gin
thrown together in a shaker. Is it
' any wonder that stomach special–
ists have reaped a harvest when
they have not only poor liquors
but atrocious mixers both work–
ing for them? For this reason I
have dedicated my 1929 Edition
