Old Mr. Boston Deluxe Official Bartender's Guide

By Leo Cotton and Mr. Boston

With the 1933 repeal of Prohibition, America was thrust into a cocktail fever.

Foreword

With repeal came the inevitable avalanche of cocktail books, most of them published without regard to accuracy or completeness. A survey proved the need for a cocktail book that would be authentic and accurate. The task of compiling this OFFICIAL BARTENDERS GUIDE was thereupon undertaken and now after almost one year of tedious work it is presented to the thousands of bartenders throughout the country and to that portion of the American public who desire a truly official source of information for home mixing.

The OFFICIAL BARTENDERS GUIDE was compiled and edited in collaboration with four old time Boston Bartenders whose background and experience make them authorities on the correct ingredients to be used and the proper manner of serving cocktails. This experience plus the fact that every cocktail has been actually tested makes this truly an OFFICIAL BARTENDERS GUIDE.

The editor wishes to take this opportunity to convey his sincere appreciated to David Lubin, John A. Fitz-Patrick, Thomas J. Kane and Chris Lane, Secretary of the Boston Bartenders Union, bartenders of the old school and authorities in the art of mixed drinks.
