Description
The Café Royal Cocktail Book offers a unique glimpse into London's bars during the interwar period. Compiled by William J Tarling, this 1937 publication was created to share recipes with consumers while also raising funds for two charitable causes. Tarling drew from existing recipes and added his own, as well as collecting original concoctions from his contemporaries. This facsimile edition, reproduced in collaboration with the UK Bartenders Guild and Mixellany Limited, brings this rare knowledge back into print. The book includes some of the earliest known recipes for tequila and vodka-based drinks, as well as memorable cocktails featuring absinthe and other revived ingredients. A valuable addition to any cocktail book library, this publication provides a fascinating insight into the history of mixology.
