Angostura Bitters Complete Mixing Guide 1908 Reprint (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781640321250)

Unabridged reproduction of the 1908 Angostura Bitters Complete Mixing Guide. Angostura Bitters was invented by Dr. Siegert in 1824 to cure all ailments - except the one you had. Lucky for us it was added to alcohol cures, as the umami and flavor make drinks ever so much more so.

This book was made to be popular, so it features only the most popular drinks at the time like Mamie Taylor, Whiskey Smash, and Gin Sour. It is a great book to date cocktails as they emerged or disappeared from favor.

As the book was most likely a promotional piece, it has over 200 recipes (with and without bitters) of food and cocktails.

Still distilled in Trinidad, Angostura sells over 10 million gallons of the little bottles around the world.
