JAMES', LONDON, S.W.i MADE AND PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY THE SIDNEY PRESS LTD., LONDON AND BEDFORD [Sketched by Wykeham Studios ALL Royalties derived by W. J. Tarling from this book are to be equally divided between The United Kingdom Bartenders' Guild Sickness Benefit Fund and The Cafe Royal Sports Club Fund. Contents COCKTAILS - - - Section One OTHER DRINKS - - Section Two INDEX to names of cocktails whose vast number prevents inclusion of . recipes in this book - - - Section Three GLOSSARY - - - Section Four Coronation Edition 1937 Preface O compile this book of Cocktails has been no easy task since it has entailed minutely examining over four thousand recipes, and to keep the book within reasonable bounds it has been only possible to give a selection of the most suitable cocktails. The majority of recipes are the originals of Members of the United Kingdom Bartenders' Guild, of which I have the honour to be President, and I can assure my readers that if they will follow these recipes carefully they will be able to enjoy many drinks with which they were hitherto unacquainted. Careful observation has shown that at the majority of Cocktail parties there is little variation in the cocktails offered, and each party is apt to have a monotonous repetition of Martini, Bronx, Manhattan, and White Lady Cocktails, all, I grant, very good cocktails indeed, but just as apt to be dull as continuous dinners at which the same soup, fish, meat and sweet are served.

  • Dale Degroff Holiday Cocktails
    Dale DeGroff Holiday Cocktails UNCLE ANGELO’S EGG NOGG (1 batch 8 to 12 people) My Great Uncle Angelo Gencarelli’s recipe appeared on the Four Roses whiskey bo!le for years in the 1950’s. What makes it so special is the lightness: two parts milk to one-part heavy cream. The yolks and the whites are separated and the egg whites whipped stiff are folded into the finished eggnog like clouds above a sea of nog... INGREDIENTS# 6 eggs (separated)† 1 quart milk 1 pint cream 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg 3/4 cup sugar 6 oz. old bourbon 4 oz. your favorite medium bodied rum or spiced rum Preparation: Put the whites aside in the fridge. Beat egg yolks well until they turn very light in color, adding half a cup of sugar as you beat. Add the milk, cream and the spirits to finished yolks. Add some grated nutmeg to the batch and stir well. Chill. Just before serving, beat egg whites with 1/4 cup of remaining sugar until they peak. Fold whites into mixture. Grate fresh nutmeg over each cup. † NOTE: As with cooking, raw eggs in cocktails when stored and handled properly are completely safe; in fact, because they are mixed with strong spirits there is an added measure of safety by virtue of the antibacterial properties of strong spirits. hollandamerica.com Dale DeGroff Holiday Cocktails GENERAL HARRISON’S NOG (A nog with no cream or milk products) A personal favorite, adapted from a recipe in Jerry Thomas’s 1862 edition of How to Mix Drinks or The Bon Vivant’s Companion.
