Published in 1917 by Tom Bullock, 'The Ideal Bartender' is the first cocktail book written by an African American. It also contains my new favorite booze quote:
Bullock presided over the bar at the exclusive St. Louis Country Club. Some of his most noteworthy customers included August Anheuser Busch and George Herbert Walker (George W. Bush's grandaddy). Bullock's cocktail book opens with an introduction written by Walker.
“It is a genuine privilege to be permitted to testify to his qualifications for such a work,” Walker wrote.
Sadly, little is know about the life of Tom Bullock. His book includes 173 cocktails and punches.
