Bootleg Bibliography

 

Here are the books and articles—both old and new—referred to by Paul Dickson in creating creating this website and his book Contraband Cocktails. This bibliography has been augmented by works from Alison Kelly’s American Cocktail Books, 1869-1939 Selected Titles from Library of Congress Collections these books are marked thusly = ◙. These books and others of their ilk are available in the Science and Business Reading Room of the Library of Congress.

Readers will note that a large percentage of these works were published in the 1930s after the Eighteenth Amendment was repealed with the passage of the Twenty-First Amendment in 1933. They ranged from serious handbooks for professional mixologists to lighter guides for entertaining at home. Alison Kelly who has studied this wave of post-Prohibition mixology concludes:

One common theme in these books is that, while alcohol consumption never stopped, and in fact probably increased, during Prohibition, people were consuming the very lowest grade in an uncivilized manner. In general, the publications work to remedy the ills of Prohibition, to restore sophistication and good taste, along with reviving the lost art of mixology. Some of the books are sponsored by distillers, others appear to be independent ventures. Although most were published during the Great Depression, they don’t always reflect that event in any obvious way. As a group, they present an interesting mix of looking both backward and forward, with their art deco covers and recipes for Marcel Waves and New Deal Cocktails—as well as cups and fizzes from before World War I.

Being in the particular an elucidation of the Manners and Customs of people of quality in a period of some equality. Alison Kelly of the Library of Congress has described this book: One of the legendary bartenders of the 20^th century, Craddock, who was born in England, worked at New York's Knickerbocker Hotel and the Hoffman House. He became a naturalized citizen in 1916, but, with the advent of Prohibition, he returned to England, purportedly after shaking the last legal cocktail in New York. He went on to become the head bartender of the American Bar at London’s Savoy Hotel. In addition to the numerous illustrations and cocktail recipes, there is a short section on “cocktails suitable for a Prohibition country;” these are not temperance drinks, but instead call for ingredients easily obtained during Prohibition, such as grape juice, grenadine and “hooch whisky.”

DeVoto, Bernard. The Hour. Portland, Or.: Tin House Books, 2010. Originally published in 1948 this book contains a full and opinionated view of the cocktail hour. “This is the violet hour,” Mr. DeVoto writes of that magic moment, 6 p.m., alluded to in the title. It is “the hour of hush and wonder, when the affections glow and valor is reborn, when the shadows deepen along the edge of the forest and we believe that, if we watch carefully, at any moment we may see the unicorn.” His view of the proper martini is strict and unrelenting: “And, I suppose, nothing can be done with people who put olives in martinis, presumably because in some desolate childhood hour someone refused them a dill pickle and so they go through life lusting for the taste of brine.”

The 2013 reprint has an introduction by Pete Hamill. “When Manhattan joints were hung out to dry, the Booze-oizie sniveled, then pirouetted on their stools to find reasonably palatable Speakeasy facsimiles. These Prohibition hangouts each had their own flavor, decorum, decor and formula for ducking the law. Each found its own alcoholic substratum: its own inimitable characters behind, at and under the bar. Fear not - all has not been lost to the repeal of the 18th Amendment, Starbucks corporate latte, and the wrecking ball. One intoxicating artifact remains, a book of lustrous vintage - Al Hirschfelds The Speakeasies of 1932, wherein Hirschfeld nails these dipsomaniacal outposts with his pen and brush in the manner of a dour Irish bartender sizing up a troublesome souse. Provided as well is the recipe for each of the speakeasys cocktail claim to fame. The resulting concoction is the perfect antidote to the Cappuccino Grande Malaise, a book that will make everyone yearn for a Manhattan, old fashioned, and straight up. His comments are as swooping and witty as his lines. - The New Yorker

Moden Drinks and How to Mix Them Compliments of THE BRUNSWICK-BALKE COLLENDER CO. Booklet printed by Rogers & Smith Co. Printers, Chicago. Quoting from the Introduction: "Some bartenders claim that the day of the 'BARTENDERS' GUIDE' is past. This is no more a fact than would be the statement that the world does not move. The man who a few years ago could mix pretty nearly any drink called for at his bar would find himself in the novice class to-day if he had not remained behind the bar in this interval.

"Weird concoctions, smacking peculiarly of some one section of the country, have gained world-wide reputations. Names have been coined for them by the score, and strange names they are. A man from Reno might ask a New Orleans bartender to throw together for the joy of his palate an ‘Electric Belt.’ The New Orleans man would be a genius if he figured this one out. In the common parlance, the thirsty gentleman from Death Valley was pining for a ‘Blue Blazer,’ which any of the experienced men would be able to mix immediately.

"On account of this custom of tacking foolish names on to foolish drinks, we must apologize to our readers for omitting such extraordinary labels from our index. Otherwise we think we can say our formulas are up to the minute.

"We wish to particularly call the reader's attention to the Suggestions and Money Savers department in the back of this booklet. We are able to give more expert aid to the saloon owner to-day than any firm in any line of business. We should be able to. We have been making bar fixtures and studying saloon conditions for sixty years.
