The Ideal Bartender: Cocktails and Mixed Drinks from the Years of the First World War

Autor Tom Bullock
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 noi 2010
Excerpt from The Ideal Bartender: "Is it any wonder that mankind stands open-mouthed before the bartender, considering the mysteries and marvels of an art that borders on magic? The recipes found in this book have been composed and collected, tried and tested, in a quarter-century of experience by Tom Bullock of the St. Louis Country Club." Tom Bullock was the first African-American to compile a cocktail guide, called The Ideal Bartender, published in 1917. This facsimile collection of pre-prohibition cocktails, with a foreword by George H. Walker, great-grandfather to President George W. Bush, has been published by Kalevala Books as part of the Classic Cocktail Guides and Retro Bartender Books series.

Notă biografică

Tom Bullock (1872-1964) was a Black American bartender in the pre-Prohibition era. He was born in Louisville, Kentucky, on October 18, 1872, one of at least three children of Thomas Bullock, his father, a former slave who fought for the Union Army, according to US Census records.Bullock was a bartender at the Pendennis Club, the Kenton Club, and most notably the St. Louis Country Club, and is the first known African-American author to publish a cocktail manual, The Ideal Bartender. His book is notable as one of the last cocktail manuals published before Prohibition, providing a rare view onto pre-Prohibition cocktail recipes and drinking culture in America. He appears to have ceased bartending with the onset of Prohibition. Bullock was known to be a bartender and friend to George Herbert Walker, who wrote an introduction to his cocktail manual, writing "It is a genuine privilege to be permitted to testify to his qualifications for such a work." In 1913, he was involved in a libel case when ex-President Theodore Roosevelt sued for alleged libel regarding his drinking habits, and asserted he had only had a few sips of a mint julep cocktail made by Bullock. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch disputed Roosevelt's claim, asserting that no one could fail to finish one of Bullock's cocktails. Bullock died in 1964. Cocktail historian David Wondrich believes that Bullock may have been one of the first bartenders to create a variant of the gimlet, the Stone Sour.
