1930s The Art of Mixing Drinks (The Legend of Liquers Wines, and Spirits), in its original box, Fourth Printing (the first printing was in 1935). This small spiral-bound manual was published by Ginrum Alpha Company (Hastings, Nebraska) and boasts "what to serve, when to serve, and how to serve" mixology how-to. Truly a cool vintage cocktail guide that captures the essence of vintage cocktails and how to serve them. The book is comprised of a hard plastic with a bold red spiral and gold font. The box it comes in is a deep black box with "The Art of Mixing Drinks" in gold font. This neat mixology book includes vintage drinks such as Brandy Punch, White Cap, Gin and Pine, Champagne Velvet, and many more. There's also a section on the various spirits (Apricot Liqueur, Aquavit, Arrack, etc) as well as glassware shapes. Truly a magical vintage guide.
Condition: Very good vintage condition overall with minor signs of age. Tight binding. All pages are in tact and in excellent shape. The cover (which is a hard, thick plastic) is in good shape overall (there's one tiny, hairline crack in the back cover edge that was impossible to capture in a photo, see last photo). The pages are in good shape overall with some minor yellowing that paper gets over the course of decades. This book doesn't appear to have been used much. The box shows age and wear (including staining on the back of the box, see photo). Overall, this small cocktail guide is in very good vintage condition with mild signs of age/wear. Cheers!
Measurements: the spiral-bound manual measures 5 1/2" tall x just shy of 4" wide; the box measures 5 3/4" tall by 4 1/4" in width
