Book Reviews of Bar La Florida Cocktails 1935 Reprint
Book Review: Interesting and genuinely useful old cocktail guide
Summary: 5 Stars
Bar La Florida in 1935. Daiquiris and Ernest Hemingway. Florida as an exotic destination and the gateway to the even more exotic Cuba. It's both a period piece and a set of recipes that we can recreate today in imitation of 1935 Florida. Tropical drinks from a stylish age. I especially like its version of the Mojito in its popular phase the first time around.
Summary of Bar La Florida Cocktails 1935 Reprint
A complete reproduction of the 1935 bar guide Bar La Florida Cocktails with a new introduction by Ross Bolton. La Florida Bar, 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.Bartending Books
