Drinks: Long and Short (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025612300)

"Drinks--Long and Short" is an elegant guide to the art of beverage preparation, reflecting the sophisticated social landscape of the mid-1920s. This work provides a comprehensive collection of recipes and techniques for crafting a wide variety of drinks, categorized into "long" refreshments like fizzes and highballs, and "short" concoctions such as classic cocktails and aperitifs.

The text explores the nuances of mixing, stirring, and serving drinks with a focus on balance and presentation. It serves as both a practical manual for the host and a historical record of the tastes that defined the interwar era. From spirited alcoholic mixtures to refreshing non-alcoholic alternatives, the recipes highlight the creativity and craftsmanship inherent in early 20th-century mixology. "Drinks--Long and Short" remains a significant resource for cocktail enthusiasts, culinary historians, and anyone interested in the evolution of social entertaining and the timeless appeal of a well-made drink.
