Sloppy Joe's Bar Cocktails Manual (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781440468773)

An historic compilation of cocktails served at the legendary Havana watering hole during the 1930s. Over 120 pages, this book, translated by the Restaurant Museum, uncovers the craft of the "cantineros" and preserves their sophisticated drinks and noble cocktails, nearly lost when Sloppy Joe's was shuttered in 1959 at the triumph of the Cuban Revolution. It stands as a memorial to the legendary bar, a celebration of its liquid masterpieces, and a testament to the idiocy of Prohibition. Includes 169 cocktail recipes, and features 5 versions of the Mojito, including the "Hemingway Special," a sugarless Mojito, developed for Sloppy Joe's famous patron who could not digest raw sugar.
