Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Frequently found in yellow wraps but here bound into dark green or black textured boards with the word "Swallows" stamped into front board, possibly originally in silver gilt but now faded. Bottom corner of front board here slightly warped. This revised edition of Boothby's popular cocktail manual first published in 1891 as "Cocktail Boothby's American Bar-Tender" and again in 1908 as "The world's drinks and how to mix them / standard authority." Over 1500 recipes, significantly expanded from the four hundred or so in the first edition.

The deluxe hardbound edition called "Swallows" was sold as a gift reflecting the book's status among cocktail enthusiasts. Boothby, known for his self-promotion and showmanship, bartended at prestigious venues including the Palace Hotel, Bryon Hot Springs Hotel, and Fairmont Hotel.

His signature drink, the Boothby Cocktail (a pre-Prohibition cocktail that features rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, two types of bitters, and Champagne -- essentially just a Manhattan with the addition of sparkling wine) supposedly remains part of mixological history, though we weren't able to find it listed here in a brief scan. "Bloody Mary" also not found, though there are numerous versions of the "Martini.".…
