First published 150 years ago, Jerry Thomass Original Cocktail Guide marks the first time todays classics were set down in print. From old standards to mixes invented by Thomas himself (including Thomass signature drink, the Blue Blazer, which involves lighting whiskey and passing it back and forth between two mixing glasses, creating an arc of flame), the book contains guides for mixing drinks of all categories - including sours, fizzes and highballs. Along with instructions on using various bartending tools, from jiggers to ponies and beyond and a glossary to help all bon vivants remember their demijohns from their drachms, this is a nostalgic and delicious homage to a drinking era that is gone but not forgotten.

Este es el libro de cócteles más famoso de todos los tiempos, escrito por el barman más famoso de todos los tiempos, y el primero jamás publicado (1862). Una guía que, a la vez que establece los principios para dosificar bien las mezclas y las ordena por categorias sistematizando asi lo que hasta entonces era unicamente una tradicion oral, añade, ademas, nuevas e imaginativas aportaciones de creacion propia, como el blue blazer, el ya legendario coctel flameado. Un elegante, nostalgico y delicioso homenaje al noble arte de la mixologia.
