Mixellany's Annotated Bariana: A Practical Compendium of All American and British Drinks (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780982107447)

Translated and annotated by award-winning mixologist Charles Vexenat, Mixellany's Bariana: A Practical Compendium of All American and British Drinks provides a fascinating glimpse into the Golden Age of French cocktails. Originally published in 1896, Bariana: Recueil pratique de toutes boissons Americaines et Anglaises by Louis Fouquet is regarded as the second French cocktail book ever published. But there is no question that Bariana is the first heralded French cocktail book--unveiled in the popular Almanach Hachette encyclopaedia on practical life and introduced the phenomenon of a nouveau genre of mixed drinks. Mixellany's Bariana: A Practical Compendium of All American and British Drinks is a passionate portrayal of what can be learnt from studying and adapting the past to the modern mixological repertoire.
