Jerry Thomas' Handbook of the True Gaiverer is the 'Bible' of drinks.
SOURCE OF EXAMPLE AND INSPIRATION
Indeed, there is no bartender in the world who has not looked to Thomas' book as a source of example and inspiration.
Most of the 463 recipes in the work have remained unchanged; and in any case, later ones are inspired by them, modified by virtue of the times and ingredients, creativity and the spirit of the times.
THE SPIRIT OF JERRY THOMAS
But most of all, what is alive in The Handbook of the True Jovialist is the spirit of Jerry Thomas:"An excellent drink is extracted only from excellent materials." No sparing, then. For those few who may not know him, Thomas was a bartender at the Metropolitan Hotel in New York and Planter's House in St. Louis; also the owner of one of the most fashionable saloons in New Orleans, J. Thomas published this manual in the late 1800s.
With expertise as a chemist, pharmacist, and liquor manufacturer, Christian Schultz later added more recipes for making cordials, liqueurs, and syrups.
In the afterwords of Jerry Thomas's The Handbook of the True Gaiverer you will find literature, or rather poetry, by Roberto Mussapi; and historical reflection by Allan Bay.
