“One of the best bartenders of his day, Thomas earned a stratospheric $100 per week at one point and did more to popularize the drinks of the day than any other mixologist of his day, or even most from today.”

For 1800’s pay this guy was the Michael Jordon of his craft.

Bump for reference. I’ve been wanting to check out old recipes. They were heavy on bitters, ginger, and herbs that is often missing today.

Great Great Grandpappy NavyCanDo’s Bartender tip was always have a look-out posted to spot for revenuers before inviting guest into the shed.

The younger generation seems to have some pretty bad taste when it comes to spirits. When I stroll down the vodka aisle at a large liquor store I see vodkas flavored like gummy candy, cotton candy, cake, root beer and even peanut butter as well as an assortment of fruit flavors. The blue colored raspberry vodka I swear looks just like the blue disinfectant solution for combs you used to see in barber shops. Some of the concoctions I see young patrons at bars drinking would seem by my taste pretty nasty.

I am glad to see that the well mixed cocktails of the past are coming back. I recently happened on a bar along the north shore of Lake Superior that specialized in the old time cocktails and enjoyed a well made Old Fashioned.

Ferget yer fancy drinkins.
When the family needed a pick-us-up, we cracked opened my Dad's Fecking Irish Whiskey and drank a toast in his honor. That's the way to do it.

but, yeah, ... I'd try something old like that just out of curiosity, I suppose ...

Thanks for this — i’ve been reading old cookbooks — most oriiginal, others reproduction or e-books, and have a 1940’s bartending booklet. The cookbooks also have drinks. It’s fascinating and like time travel!
