This book in its various reprints is accepted to be the first real cocktail book, and includes such classics as Mint Julep and the Daisy. It was first know as How to Mix Drinks, or the Bon Vivant’s Companion and published in 1862 with A Manual for the Manufacture of Cordials, Liquors, Fancy Syrups, etc, etc by Christian Schultz attached at the back, since any good bartender was supposed to know how to do both mix and make. In 1876 the book was reprinted by combining the recipies of the two books and condensing them into one, with a new title, Bar-Tenders Guide. The 1876 had the Manhattan and Tom Collins added to it. We can see the progression of modern drinks again when in 1887 (two years after ‘Professor’ Jerry Thomas’s death at age 55 of apoplexy) the drink called Martinez, considered to be a Martini precursor, was included. The 1928 reprint had the title The Bon Vivant’s Companion or How to Mix Drinks and featured an introduction by Herbert Asbury, author of The Gangs of New York. In this reprint there can be found a drink Jerry Thomas in his life claimed to have invented, the Tom and Jerry, a drink so popular one could buy a special dish set to serve it in from Albert Pick Bar Supply Catalog in 1913. Alas, the drink Tom and Jerry was mentioned at least a decade before Jerry Thomas was born in the newspaper Bangor Whig. For more on the life of Jerry Thomas, the making of these drinks and their historical contexts, let me suggest Imbibe by David Wondrich and How’s Your Drink by Eric Felten.
