Illustrated Edition. Jerry Thomas (1830-1885) was an American
bartender. Due to his pioneering work in popularizing cocktails
across the United States, he is considered "the father of American
mixology." In addition to writing the seminal work on cocktails,
his creativity and showmanship established the image of the
bartender as a creative professional. As such, he was often

Bar-Tender's Guide" (alternately titled "How to Mix Drinks or The
Bon-Vivant's Companion"), the first drink book ever published in
the United States. The book collected and codified what was then an
oral tradition of recipes from the early days of cocktails,
including some of his own creations; the guide laid down the
principles for formulating mixed drinks of all categories
