Published just before the Volstead Act ushered in prohibition by
legendary bartender Tom Bullock this book is worth reading just for
historic reasons. Tom Bullock, was a well-known bartender at the
St. Louis Country Club. His skills as a bartender were so
remarkable that a libel suit hinged on the excellence of his
drinks. This book is a must read for anybody seeking to truly
master the art of mixing cocktails.
A complete reproduction of the Vintage Cocktail Book "The Ideal
Bartender" originally published in 1917. Tom Bullock became to be a
well-recognized bartender of the time at St. Louis Country Club,
where he served for government officials and other elite members.
G.H. Walker, grandfather of George W. Bush was one of the big fans
of Bullock's cocktails and wrote the indroduction. After publishing
this cocktail book, Prohibition made Bullock's profession illegal,
yet bartending culture was stronger than ever, bartenders were well
paid and tipped for supplying public a illegal substance of
alcohol. Bullock moved frequently and changed professions during
the dry period, but kept bartending at St. Louis Country Club where
people could still drink. The country club did not keep the records
on him working there. Feel free to take a look at our complete
