Once upon a time in America there was a gentleman named Charles
Christopher Mueller, who published, in 1934, seven little volumes
titled Pioneers of Mixing at Elite Bars. He wasn't alone, his three
compatriots--Al Hoppe, A V Guzman, and James Cunningham--compiled
the recipes they shook and stirred at 30 bars around the US before
Prohibition. They had met in 1906, at the height of the cocktail's
Golden Age. In this compilation there is a recipe for a
Cosmopolitan Daisy made with raspberry syrup and gin instead of
cranberry juice and vodka There's only one problem in reading
vintage cocktail books. Some of the ingredients are no longer
available and need to be replaced with a focus on maintaining the
original flavour profile as closely as can be practically managed.
This can take years when you are working through 1,374 recipes:
That is how many drinks this compilation contains. That is why
award-winning London mixologist Myles Davies scoured through the
contents and annotated everything including the spirits
descriptions to give you, the reader, an opportunity to play with
less pressure. So now it's time to stroll through pre-Prohibition
American cocktails with the four gentlemen known as the American
Traveling Mixologists and their British sidekick. Don't just stop
at the Cosmopolitan Daisy. There are plenty of jewels in this
treasure chest.
