Bar La Florida Cocktails 1935 Reprint

Unabridged reproduction of the 1935 bar guide Bar La Florida Cocktails with a new introduction by Ross Bolton.Bar La Florida, also known as the "Floridita", made the Daiquiri famous, with a little help from Papa.Ernest "Papa" Hemingway, would meet friends like Spencer Tracy or Gary Cooper, and order a round of his drink the "Papa Doble".This book was also the start of many misprints. The Daiquiri recipe calls for a Lemon Verde, translated literally means a "green lemon" which back then was a badly translated lime.Featuring many cocktails with measurements in both Spanish and English, it also covers more obscure drinks like absinthe drop, mojito, zazerac, Mary Pickford, Peggy Niles, and pisco punch.
