A LOST ART
The art of mixing drinks has been lost, as it were, and
the man of today will, without the use of a proper guide,
experience difficulty in preparing a drink that at one time
was much sought after by those who were patrons of the
best hotels and clubs throughout the country.
All of the formulas given herein have been tested many,
many times by the Author in his many years of experience
and to the man who is catering to the public or the man
in the home who would give his guests the best to be had,
he will find this volume most welcome.
In
preparing this edition the Author wishes to acknowl–
edge with gratitude the assistance that has been given to
make this work complete.
A number of the formulas herein are from the best
hotels and clubs of Germany, France, England, Spain,
and all Europe, as well as the best in America.
In
the hope that the best hotels and clubs and the man
at home in our fair land may enjoy the best in good, whole–
some drinks, to him this volume is dedicated.
THE AUTHOR.
