The Saloon In The Home Or A Garland Of Rumblossoms 1930 Reprint

A complete reproduction of the 1930 The Saloon in the Home or A Garland of Rumblossoms with a new introduction by Ross Bolton. This wonderful book compiled by Ridgely Hunt and George S. Chappell also includes many humorous drawings by John Held Jr. Since this book was published right in the middle of prohibition (1920 to 1933 in the U.S.), it makes it a wonder that the book was published at all! Full of over 60 drinks and balanced out with various tales of drinking woe and lore, it makes a wonderful look at the cocktail bar trade. A great book for any home bar today, the book also gives some advice on the proper mixing methods of classic drinks like The Knockout, The Eye Opener, The Martini, The Gin Daisy, The Side Car, and many others a person must have had to taste while contemplating prohibition!
