A bartender, as a rule, is a person who enjoys the company of others, endeavors to solve problems, listens to the woes of the world, sympathizes with the mistreated, laughs with the comedians, cheers up the down at heart, and generally controls the atmosphere at his or her bar. A bartender is the manager of moods, the master of mixology.Certain scenarios are played out over and over again in bars everywhere. The questions are basically the same; only the details vary: What's in a true Singapore Sling? How long has the Martini been around? What's the difference between a Fix and a Fizz? A reference book is as necessary to a bartender as ice.

Feature
Old Time Recipes for Home Made Wines Cordials and Liqueurs from Fruits Flowers Vegetables and Shrubs Classic ReprintDescription
Excerpt from Old-Time Recipes for Home Made Wines, Cordials and Liqueurs From Fruits, Flowers, Vegetables, and ShrubsThe idea of compiling this little volume occurred to me while on a visit to some friends at their summer home in a quaint New England village. The little town had once been a thriving seaport, but now con sisted of hardly more than a dozen Old fashioned Colonial houses facing each other along one broad, well-kept street. A few blind lanes led to less pretentious homes; and still farther back farmhouses dotted the landscape and broke the dead line of the horizon.
For peace, contentment, and quiet seren ity of life, this little village might have been Arcadia; the surrounding country, the land of Beulah.
