Excerpt from the Foreword: "Confronted with a fascinating array of bottles--tall, short, square or round, varying in color from white and transparent to richest amber, gold capped and glinting with light--containing whiskeys, rums, gins, wines, liqueurs, bitters and fruit syrups, the question arises, WHAT shall we Mix--and HOW? There are possible--combinations of the above--which when poured into iced glasses will result in stimulating delights, elations, quickenings of the wit, brilliant conversational forays OR distressing messes and unsavory fluids, depressing in effect and of real harm to your guests. ... Its recipes if followed with care and precision will produce a variety of drinks ranging from Dry to Sweet and embodying every known ingredient with its own haunting flavor."
