1884 The Modern Bartenders' Guide by O. H. Byron

PREFACE.

This work lias long been a necessity, oiving to tlie absence of any anthority npon the method of mixing the many new popular drinks that have come in vogue. Within the last few years various changes have taken place in the style of preparing different beverages, and the inventive genius of our artistic gentlemen have been employed, and successfully, in discovering something new, delicate and palatable, and improving on the manner of preparing. As will bo noticed, there arc many new receipts contained in this book never before published, and for which I am indebted to the kindness of the"Presiding Jupiters" of all our largest establishments. By careful attention to the rules given,the novice in a short time can become as proficient as his humble servant. O. H. BYEON.
