1935 Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book

28

OLD WALDORF-ASTORIA BAR BOOK is used. In a few it formed the base, or one of the bases. Another table names the cocktails in which Absinthe was considered essential. These lists apply only to the cocktails known and served before the Noble Experiment was launched, and not to "Fancy Potations and Otherwise," of the same period, which have been divided, when possible, into groups according to their general name, such as "Slings," "Sours," "Punches," and so on. Further on in the book will be found the best list, with formulas, of worth-while cock– tails, punches and so on, such as Americans going to the Tropics and elsewhere abroad have learned to know and usually to esteem, particularly those based upon two of the best known varieties of Rum produced in the West Indies.
