Although many Cocktail Books have already been published there has always been room for a Standard Work and I was indeed glad to hear that the United Kingdom Bartenders' Guild had decided to publish this book. Not only do they give a large selection of Cocktails, but they publish the Index to their Reference Library. At first sight this may not appear to be anything out of the ordinary, but when one realises that at last our Bartenders, who mix the correct recipes, can definitely prove this to any doubting customer, and that the duplication of names can now be avoided by reference to the Index, we all ought to be grateful for the removal of two grievances— the doubt as to the correct recipe and the duplication of titles. I wish the book every success and cordially recommend it to the boys behind the bar.
