Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide

I scored a second edition copy of the Bartender’s Guide by Trader Vic, on loan from Duke Pukes. It’s a great book, full of bizarre drinks (the Angel’s Tit and the Bosom Caresser, just to name two) and even bizarrer anecdotes and advices about the profession of “saloonkeeping,” including spotting “phonies” and “check dodgers.”

However, as strange and out of date as it is, there are some fantastic recipes I’ve never seen before and a true appreciation for the well made drink. So, in it’s honor, I’ve added a new category, and will periodically be covering drinks from the book.  If you’ve got the chance to pick up a copy, go for it.
