Synopsis
Both supreme gentility and extraordinary fun characterized London's high society in the 1930s. When "The Savoy Cocktail Book" was first published, it not only enriched the style of the times--it became part of it. Into the next millennium, The Savoy Hotel continues to evoke a world of elegance and style, and this updated edition features several new cocktails including the Millennium Cocktail, created by Peter Dorelli, the former Savoy head barman. This compendium attempts to cover everything about drinks and drinking, especially the art of cocktail creation, presentation, and consumption. With over 750 classic cocktail recipes, "The Savoy Cocktail Book" allows you to recreate the tradition of sophisticated soirees at The Savoy time and time again. Harry Craddock left America during Prohibition to work as a cocktail barman for The American Bar at London's Savoy Hotel. Published in the wake of Prohibition, his "Savoy Cocktail Book" captures the spirit of the times with its historic recipes and vibrant illustrations. Craddock has been credited with popularizing many drinks and the invention of a number of classic cocktails, such as the White Lady and Corpse Reviver #2."

Review
During prohibition, liquor-deprived Americans would hop across the Atlantic for glamorous tea dances and cocktails in London. The place to b eseen drinking "mixed drinks", as cocktails were known during the decadent 1920s and 1930s, was the American Bar at the Savoy. The barman at that time was Harry Craddock and he wrote The Savoy Cocktail Book, which was first published in 1930. This new edition has been updated by Peter Dorelli, the new Head Barman at the Savoy. In it you will find recipes for Daisies, Slings, Shrubs, Smashes, Fizzes, Juleps, Fixes and a whole lot more. Like his predecessors, Dorelli has invented a few cocktails himself and his latest is the Millennium--gin, Midori, Limoncello and mango juice. The book is illustrated with Deco drawings and will make a fabulous gift. --Dale Kneen
