Book Overview

Synonymous with style, elegance, and sophistication, the Savoy is unsurprisingly also the birthplace of some of the most famous cocktails in the world. During the 1920s and 1930s, Prohibition-dodging Americans visiting London for tea-dances and cocktails made the bar at the Savoy their home. Here they were entertained by legendary American barman Harry Craddock, inventor of the White Lady and popularizer of the Dry Martini. Originally published in 1930, the Savoy Cocktail Book features 750 of Harry's most popular recipes. It is a fascinating record of the cocktails that set London alight at the time--and which are just as popular today. Taking you from Slings to Smashes, Fizzes to Flips, and featuring art deco illustrations, this book is the perfect gift for any budding mixologist or fan of 1930s-style decadence and sophistication.

Awesome purchase - better than expected!

Seller sold item that they no longer had when they went to check inventory. Seller let me know and then found a replacement item super quick - so quick that I honestly didn't notice any delay due to the inventory problem. The book I received was even better than imagined. Perfect gift for my dad. I was VERY happy with this seller. Highly recommended.
