Tom Bullock

The Ideal Bartender Tom Bullock

Take a step back in time with these cocktail recipes. Is it any wonder that mankind stands open-mouthed before the bartender, considering the mysteries and marvels of an art that borders on magic? The recipes found in this book have been composed and collected, tried and tested, in a quarter-century of experience by Tom Bullock of the St. Louis Country Club. Originally published in 1917, prohibition soon hit which left Bullock practicing an illegal profession. He was the first African-American bartender to publish a cocktail manual.
