Synopsis
Mr. Jacques Straub was the manager of the famed Pendennis Club of Louisville, Kentucky, and later the wine steward of the Blackstone Hotel in Chicago until Prohibition. According to The Hotel Monthly (1920), "Notwithstanding Mr. Straub's knowledge of wines and liquors, he never drank. He was a most abstemious man in this respect, but his judgment from smell and taste was always infallible." Straub's Manual of Mixed Drinks contains nearly 700 clear and accurate directions for mixing all kinds of popular and fancy drinks that were served in the best hotels, clubs, buffets, bars, and homes of the early twentieth century. You'll find recipes for such classics as the Mint Julep and the Absinthe Drip alongside some more unusual selections, including the Tit Float, topped with whipped cream and a cherry, and the Diarrhea Mixture, made with peppermint and blackberry brandy-is it a cocktail or a cure? This facsimile of the 1913 edition of Straub's Manual of Mixed Drinks is part of the Classic Cocktail Guides and Retro Bartender Books series published by Kalevala Books.
Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (11,940)
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis package of books came quickly and was packed well enough to prevent all but the worst handling conditions. The books themselves were in nearly perfect condition and the box/sleeve was only slightly worn -- just as described in the listing. Was really happy with this order and the price was fantastic for such a great starter set of Hardy Boys. Awesome!
- 2***l (409)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI buy used blu ray movies almost exclusively. When a great title comes to me, at a great price, responsibly shipped in bubblewrap, I know the seller's smart, and responsible, and their efforts are worthy of our business. A++, all around..! Thanks, Goodwill of Northwest North Carolina..! Let's do this again..! 👋😁👌
- i***l (1356)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchasefrom reading his feedback, i see this seller always UNDER-rates the condition of his books. they are usually in BETTER condition than listed. he also ships fast. so one can be confident that the condition of a book from this seller will be AT LEAST as good as described, usually BETTER, and shipped promptly. the book i just received is in EXCELLENT condition, but was only listed as "acceptable". wish all book sellers were as honest as this one. won't hesitate to buy from him again!Basics of Biblical Greek Workbook (#235898226302)
