Synonymous with style, elegance, and sophistication, the Savoy is
unsurprisingly also the birthplace of some of the most famous
cocktails in the world. During the 1920s and 1930s,
Prohibition-dodging Americans visiting London for tea-dances and
cocktails made the bar at the Savoy their home. Here they were
entertained by legendary American barman Harry Craddock, inventor
of the White Lady and popularizer of the Dry Martini. Originally
published in 1930, the Savoy Cocktail Book features 750 of
Harry's most popular recipes. It is a fascinating record of the
cocktails that set London alight at the time--and which are just as
popular today. Taking you from Slings to Smashes, Fizzes to Flips,
and featuring art deco illustrations, this book is the perfect gift
for any budding mixologist or fan of 1930s-style decadence and
sophistication.
