Cocktails
Lucius Beebe's Stork Club Bar Book [Rinehart & Company: New York, 1946] reads like a who's who with drinks. This New York City venue was a favorite destination for movie stars, government officials, and business moguls from 1929-1965. The headnotes in Mr. Beebe's book are just as intriguing as the drinks themselves. Salud! Serving classic cocktails with original recipes.
