Nearly as famous for his sharp wit as he was for his delicious and well-balanced cocktails, Meier honed his skills working for Harry Craddock in New York before moving to the Paris Ritz where he mixed drinks for such icons as Franklin Roosevelt, No l Coward, Hemingway, and Cole Porter.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFilled with decades of hard-earned mixological wisdom, \u003ci\u003eThe Artistry of Mixing Drinks\u003c\/i\u003e reflects the seriousness with which Frank Meier executed his craft. It contains over 300 cocktail and mixed drink recipes, many of which were concocted by the author himself, as well as a chapter with sandwich recipes (and drink pairings), a chapter on wines and how to serve them, useful measurement conversion charts, and a chapter on how to properly clean and maintain bar supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn Meier's own words, to be a bartender is to be \"a chemist, a physiologist, and a psychologist\" all at once. To this end, he addresses several topics of interest to any respectable, globe-trotting polymath. These areas include prescriptions for illnesses, first aid instructions in case of drowning, sunstroke, poisonous snake bites, and other calamities; wind pressure charts; basic physics and geometry formulas; and a brief history of horse racing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA truly comprehensive guide for the sophisticated drinker, this high-quality reprint of \u003ci\u003eThe Artistry of Mixing Drinks\u003c\/i\u003e is a refreshing dose of Golden-age wisdom for the modern cocktail lover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 184\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 15, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51984299327789,"sku":"9781626541511","price":24.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/kEfnkZL5Ig9781626541511.webp?v=1776092287","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/the-artistry-of-mixing-drinks-1934-by-frank-meier-ritz-bar-paris-1934-reprint-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
