ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED in 1896, Bariana: Recueil pratique de toutes
boissons Americaines et Anglaises by Louis Fouquet is regarded as
the second French cocktail book ever published. But there is no
question that Bariana is the first heralded French cocktail book:
Unveiled in the 1898 edition of the popular Almanach Hachette
encyclopaedia, a handful of Fouquet's recipes were published along
with the comment that "Thanks to Mr. Louis Fouquet, the skiilful
barman from the Criterion (121 r. St-Lazare) American and English
beverages can now be prepared by everyone as easily as combining
anisette and water." Translated into English and annotated by
award-winning mixologist Charles Vexenat, Mixellany's Annotated
Bariana displays Fouquet's passionate dedication to the art of
bartending to a new audience of cocktail aficionados. Besides
providing readers with keen insights into the Golden Age of
cocktails in Paris, this book demonstrates how vintage recipes such
as Fouquet's Whiskey Snapper and Martinican Cocktail come alive
when adapted for modern palates and for execution by the new
generation of mixologists. This special edition contains both
Vexenat's annotated and translated work as well as the original
French text.
