1928 COCKTAIL RECIPES 1^st ed Bottoms Up Mixology Alcoholic Beverages PROHIBITION

“Bottoms Up” is a unique cocktail guide curated by “Two Knights and a Maid,” with the aid of John Walker and the Haig Bros. Presented as “52 Cock-Tail Spins for High Flyers from the Recipes of Many Celebrities” on its cover, the book curiously features only 28 drink recipes. These concoctions come from luminaries such as Fanny Brice, W.C. Fields, George Gershwin, and Florenz Ziegfeld. Standing out for its publication during the Prohibition era in the U.S., it’s distinguished as one of the earliest compilations of celebrity cocktail recipes. The book’s design is equally distinctive, with a die-cut cocktail shaker shape and an illustrated biplane on its card stock covers.
