The Art of the Cocktail by the Legendary Ritz Bartender (French Edition) by Frank Meier presented by Philippe Colin

The Art of the Cocktail, first published in French, is much more than just a collection of recipes: it is a cult book in the universe of the mixology, signed by one of the greatest names of the bar of the 20th century, Frank Meier, legendary bartender of the Ritz Paris.

From 1921 to 1947, Meier practiced his art with a prestigious clientele: Roosevelt, Hemingway, Cole Porter... With Elegance and precision, He crafted cocktails that became legendary and recorded his secrets in this now historic book.

This book brings together more than 300 cocktail recipes classics or those invented by Meier himself, always accompanied by a touch of wit and refinement. You will find precise indications on the measurements, the bartender's gestures, and practical advice that transcends eras.

But The Art of the Cocktail, it is also a Etiquette manual, reflecting the spirit of the Roaring Twenties and the cozy atmosphere of palace bars. It offers tips for managing a snake bite, for betting on horse races, or even to treat the small ailments of daily life – a mix of humor and pragmatism that adds to the book's charm.

The French edition, published by Albin Michel, benefits from a Preface by Philippe Collin and is carefully illustrated by Delius, paying tribute to the elegance of a timeless style.

This guide is intended for enlightened amateurs, to the bar professionals, but also to all those who enjoy browsing through a beautiful book, in search of inspiration or an anecdote to shine in society.
