Originally published in 1934, this 1939 edition, 46 p. book has recipes for 100 famous cocktails featured at New York's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
In adition to the drinks, it also has commentary on Prohibition, bartending tips, and what wine goes with what food.
This is a great book, which I acquired at a Flea Market for a mere bag of shells...
Hello, crabbykins, thanks for your love of this old book! It is quite a publication.....
Hi, mikkoChristmas11, thanks for your love of this great book!
Hello, mustangtony...thanks for your love of this grand recipe book! Cheers!!!
Thank you Bellin...it is really cool! I plan on trying some of these recipes out at home, and if they go over well, then at a bar that I often go to.....
@mrmajestic1.....thanks for your love on this! The recipes are very tempting, and the text is interesting, too!
Yes, the home "proving grounds" would be a good place to experiment a little! Unfortunately, the book has no "cure" for hangovers, though! I guess that the old spiced up tomato juice concoction will have to be used!!! Ha, ha....!
Maybe I should post some of the recipes.....?
I would try every one of these cocktails !!!! Obviously not all on the same day ! I'd have to make a weekend of it ;-)) lol
cool book !! Definatly list a couple cocktail recipe's please please ;-)
I'm a member of a social club, and I am thinking of having some of these featured in a "retro cocktail night" there. I think that it would go over great!
Sometime soon, I'll post a few of the recipes on CW. Or, if you'd like, you send me a PM on Facebook, Ted Straub, and I could forward them to you!
Hi, PatSea…thanks for the love! Do you have any favorite retro drinks?

Good morning, tom…thanks for the love!
Hi, DarlingMara, I appreciate the love!
Yes, Pat, I think that that book has a recipe for a Daiquiri in it.! I'll check later today, and will let you know. Have a grand day!
OK, Pat…you are welcome! And I'll post the recipe most likely later today!
