Description
The Café Royal Cocktail Book offers a rare 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. As a result, Tarling drew from existing resources and added his own recipes, collecting many more original concoctions from his contemporaries. This facsimile edition, reproduced in collaboration with the UK Bartenders Guild, Exposition Universelle des Vins et Spiritueux, and Mixellany Books, brings this knowledge to a new generation of consumers and bartenders. The book features some of the earliest known recipes for tequila and vodka drinks, as well as memorable concoctions made with absinthe and other revived ingredients. A valuable addition to any cocktail book library, the Café Royal Cocktail Book is now available in facsimile form, unlocking a time capsule of drinks and knowledge from a bygone era.
