Review excerpt:National Barbecue News; March 2013 issue:
..."How to Mix Drinks: A Bartender's Manual by George Winter and Jack's Manual: Recipes for Fancy Mixed Drinks and When and How to Serve by J. A. Grohusko were both brought back to print by editor Cam Reese and we should all be grateful for the efforts. The drink recipes within each are certainly still valid today but it is the writings of these two original authors that you'll really enjoy. It's really cool to be able to get in the heads of two turn-of-the century barmen. ..."
