Synopsis
What is interesting about the bartender guides from Mr. Boston is that you can pinpoint what was in fashion any given time period as the editions were frequently reprinted and revised; so there is an ability to pinpoint beverage history and to revise and revamp recipes not in a current issue and promote them as retro cocktails. It was rare to find a bartender who did not own a copy of this guide to help him or her accurately mix cocktails and to use as a reference in case an unfamiliar cocktail was called for. There is a Special Section which is a reference on the proper way to mix the drinks, bar hints and measurements, glassware, how to chill a glass, how to frost a glass, ice, sugar, when to stir, when to shake, using a strainer, pouring, how to float cordials, how to flame liquor, using eggs, using fruit juices and fruit, using bitters, peel twists, vermouth, a liquor dictionary and so much more.
