Recensioni
There's a lot of charm in this relic of Prohibition era cocktail culture, but as a recipe book the Savoy should not be taken seriously. Weed-out redundant recipes with alternate names, and you might lose 40% of this book. Weed-out recipes with trivial proportional differences, and you'll lose anothe Leggi tutto
Must read If you like to drink well, then you should have this book. Essential reading. Nicely written. A classic of classics.
Joya. Una maravilla de libro con cientos de recetas clásicas aunado a un apéndice dedicado a los vinos (y un hoax a manera de prólogo). 5/5
I read about this book in EDDIE MULLER'S NOIR BAR. This is a straight out reproduction of the 1930 mixology test written Harry Craddock (bartender at the London Savoy Hotel from 1876-1930) with no editorial notes or modern updates. As a period book, it's very interesting, but many of the drink recip Leggi tutto

I classic compendium of cocktails from the golden age of the craft. This edition itself is beautifully designed and fits the period perfectly. Although Craddock stole a few (or more) of these recipes from other bartenders and displayed them as his own, there isn't a more suited book for one's bar co Leggi tutto
I read a 1999 edition b Pavilion Books. It is a complete reprint of an early edition, with no forward or anything. Interesting as a historic resource, but most of the cocktails sound gross and outdated.
Despite its venerable reputation and authorship, it's a difficult book to navigate. Unlike most good cocktail books, it lacks indexes at the rear based on ingredients or names. For example, trying to find a recipe for the Bloody Mary, which I was unable to locate, was impossible.
