Mixologists to Watch THE BEVERAGE NETWORK’S Mixologists To Watch This Year’s 10 Up-and-Coming Bartenders By Cory Jones f you think just anyone can stand behind a bar and sling drinks, then you haven’t experi- Ienced the sophisticated service of a skilled bartender. More of an art form than a job, the craft of mixology requires a multitude of talents. In a demanding, high-stress environment, bartenders are expected to read their customers’ minds, quickly deliver the perfect tipple with a smile, and then concoct trendsetting cocktails in their spare time. It can be a thankless job, so we’d like to give credit to these ten young bartenders who are keeping the art form alive. Jackson Cannon Bar Manager, Eastern Standard Boston, Massachusetts 1.

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.

Cut the ginger into smaller pieces and mix this in a food processor with some of the hot water until the mixture resembles mulch. Then add this back into the pot of water, turn off the heat, cover, and allow it to steep for one hour. Once cooled, strain the mixture through cheese cloth or a sieve, extracting as much flavor from the solids as you can. Discard the solids. Add the lime juice and sugar/syrup, stir. Let cool, then transfer to bottle(s). Store in refrigerator. Note: this will not yield a conventional, carbonated ginger beer.

    Bartender Tips, Tricks and Drink Recipes TOOLS OF THE TRADE The last thing you want to have happen is to have someone want a bottle of beer and be lacking a bottle opener.
