Cocktails By Jimmy Late Of Ciro's 1930 Reprint

A complete reproduction of Cocktails by Jimmy late of Ciro's 1930 Reprint with a new introduction by Ross Bolton. Ciro's was a hip London establishment (before another popular one opend up in Los Angeles in 1940), that had as their bartender Harry McElhone (author of Barflies and Cocktails and ABC of Cocktails), at which Jimmy took over when Harry went off to Paris. This book is one of the only books with the drink with Pegu Club Cocktail, and has quite a few pages of interestingly worded toasts. And in its remarks answers what was at that time Old Time Gin and Dry Gin, as well as a very different grenadine than pomegranates or red syrup.
