Southern: The book was suggested as "if you have to choose one, get this one" by one very crafty bartender. I got one for my friend and will get one for myself eventually

Karl V.: For the information and history aspect of cocktails, you can't beat this book. Apparently the book is out of copyright and there are a number of publishers reprinting the Savoy Cocktail Book, but not all of them are good quality. The Dover edition is a full color, well done reproduction. The text is clear and the colors illustrations are vibrant. I strongly recommend that you get the Dover version.

Charles Buerschinger: I finally got it. If your a bartender, someone comes up to the he bar and orders a “MILLIONAIRE COCKTAIL.” Yes , nobody has ever heard of it). However, it is right there alphabetically,. But this is an alphabetical listing of a lot of cocktails both obscure and well known so an OLD FASHIONED is proceeded by an OLD ETONIAN.and followed by an OLD PAL. There are sections for fizzes, punches, cups, etc. But that is the limit for categorical listings. So. if you want bourbon drinks, gin, etc this isn’t the place. If you want cocktails listed A,B, C. you’re home free as long as it’s from the 1930’s -No MARGARITAS or TEQUILA SUNRISES. The wine listings are old and Euro-centric. All that being said, a fun and classic book. Meanwhile, anybody up for an OLD ETONIAN?

Kristen R.: What can I say about this cocktail recipe classic? If you are a fan of culinary culture or the Prohibition era, this is a must for you collection. While many recipes are old fashioned and not always what have come to be known as “standard” recipes, the combinations and names will give you interesting insight into the cocktail culture of the 1930’s. I recently picked up a copy and I’m really enjoying the author’s notes and comments throughout. Craddock has an excellent dry sense of humor. I will note that the recipes are not meant for the beginner - many are just proportions rather than actual measurements as you'd find in more modern cocktail books. As a reference for making sure you are recreating a classic recipe though, there isn't anything better. It's a piece of history and a useful reference at the same time.
