Bibliography

To help manage, identify, and cross-reference the various books that have been published "since the beginning of time" about cocktails, mixology, spirits, and the like, the following is an attempt to provide a fairly comprehensive list of books. The original source listing came from Martin Doudoroff and Ted Haigh, from the list they compiled for CocktailDB.

You can find a LOT of scanned cocktail/spirits books on the EUVS Vintage Cocktail Book Library as well. As time permits, I'll be adding books from that source here, with links back to the scanned in copies that they have online.

Other online sources for extensive cocktail bibliographies are:

• An Annotated Bibliography Cocktail Kingdom
• Creating the Bibulous bibliography of cocktail books from Bibulo.us
• The Foundation of Bartending – historical books in the age of the internet. Part 1: Introduction from Bar-Vadecum.eu
• American Cocktail Books, 1869-1939 Selected Titles from Library of Congress Collections from Science Reference Services
• Alcoholic Beverage Industry: General Resources from Library of Congress Research Guides

I've chosen (at the moment) to list this in basically a "Bibliography" format:

Author, Title, publisher (date)

With any relevant "notes" about the particular book indented below that. If more exhaustive information is available, or needed about a book, instead of overloading this list with that information we should probably create a separate page for that? We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Some of the books which will be listed here are ones we consider as "Essential" books for the bartender and cocktail enthusiast to be aware of, or hopefully have their own copy of. These books will be inset in a table like you see here, and will include an image of the cover on the right hand side to make the entry stand out a little more. At the current time, this list of "Essential" books is a work-in-progress, and will be growing over time.

Dudley Bradsteet, The Life & Uncommon Adventures of Captain Dudley Bradstreet, John Hamilton, London (1755)

According to Captain Bradstreet himself, he is responsible for the early practice of Londoners purchasing their gin by dropping a coin in the mouth of a statue of a cat on a door, and then collecting the gin as it came out of the cat's paw.

Editor's Note: This edition of the Life and Adventures of Dudley Bradstreet has been reprinted for the first time from the original edition of 1755, printed and sold by S. Powell, of Dublin, a copy of which is in the British Museum. One or two trifling errors have been corrected, and Bradstreet's rather tedious play, "The Bottle Conjuror," has been omitted, together with the paragraph relating to it. Pages 351-2 are missing from the copy in the British Museum and have been reproduced from that in the Bodleian Library. G.S.T.

Capt. J. E. Alexander, Transatlantic Sketches, Comprising Visits to the most Interesting Scenes in North and South America, and The West Indies., Russel and Martien Printers (1833)

While not written by a bartender, this accounting contains an earlier set of "recipes" for Cocktail, Sling, Mint Julep, and Apple-Toddy:

368 CONCERTS AND EVENING PARTIES.    For the receipt-book let the following be copied: - First, Cocktail is composed of water, with the addition of rum, gin, or brandy, as one chooses-a third of the spirit to two-thirds of the water; add bitters, and enrich with sugar and nutmeg; in sling, the bitters are omitted. - Second, Mint Julep. Put four or five stalks of unbruised mint into a tumbler, on them place a lump of ice; add brandy, water, and sugar. - Third, Apple-toddy, says Mr. Willard, the bar-keeper of the City Hotel, who never forgets the face of a customer, is thus made: Have the fairest apples rolled in brown paper, which wet with water, and then bury them in live embers till they are thoroughly roasted and quite soft; then a fourth part of apples, a forth part of water, a lump of ice, and the whole to be rich with a fourth part of sugar, makes the agreeable compound. N. B. If there is no nutmeg convenient, a scrape or two of the mudler (wooden sugar-breaker) will answer the purpose.

Kendall Banning, The Squireʼs Recipes, Brothers of the Book (1912)

Published in 1912, but reportedly it is a "reprint" of a book which Kendall Banning "found" that was originally published in 1784. It recounts several notable recipes as provided by "Calvin Banning". At the front of the reprint however it notes that Kendall, upon hearing that his great-grand-father (Calvin) had been excommunicated from the church for his drinking.
    "So, to save grandfather's reputation, Mr Banning had to admit that the book was a hoax. He had written it himself; printed it from old, battered type on paper that he had stained with coffee, and trampled upon to give semblance of age. With such minute attention to detail had the task been done that the book was taken at its face value by everyone but the expert."

Harry MacElhone, The ABC of Mixing Cocktails, London (1921+) Harry MacElhone was a bartender at Ciro's Club in London, when he published the first edition of his small vest-pocket sized book "The ABC of Mixing Cocktails", it went through several reprints, with various additions and subtractions over the years. The 1923 and priors editions held the title of "'Harry' of Ciro's ABC of Mixing Cocktails", in 1923 he was able to purchase the "New York" bar in Paris, where he had previously worked and from that point the titles changed to just "Harry's ABC of Mixing Cocktails" with the cover stating it was "Harry of the New York bar Paris (Late of Ciros) ABC of Mixing Cocktails".

Albert Stevens Crockett, Old Waldorf Bar Days, Aventine Press (1931) Prior to Prohibition, the Waldorf Hotel in New York was one of the fine establishments where dignified gentlemen could enjoy a great cocktail. When Prohibition was enacted, the bar was shut down, and Albert Stevens Crockett found himself in possession of their collection of recipes. In 1931 he penned "Old Waldorf Bar Days" which contained a variety of reminiscences about the "good old days", and in this he included a section of the cocktail recipes which had been served. He would later publish these recipes as a stand-alone book "The Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book". The recipes contained in this book can be seen as a time-capsule of the cocktails which were available just prior to American Prohibition. Digital Copy available from the EUVS Library
