DUFFY, Patrick Gavin. The Official Mixer’s Manual: The Standard Guide for Professional and Amateur Bartenders Throughout the World.

New York: Blue Ribbon Books, 1940. 7.75" x 5.25", 328pp, illustrated with simple line drawings. Original green cloth, lettered in black to front board and spine. Light rubbing and minor handling wear to cloth; spine lettering crisp. Binding firm. Internally clean with moderate, even toning; a few small marks to preliminaries. Very Good.

A cornerstone American cocktail manual first issued at the end of Prohibition and here in a wartime-era printing, Duffy’s guide presents a comprehensive range of classic and contemporary drinks organized by base spirit. The text emphasizes consistency and practicality, with clear measurements and preparation methods intended for both professional bartenders and serious amateurs. Its broad scope—encompassing pre-Prohibition standards, revived classics, and then-modern creations—makes it a key reference point for understanding the codification of American cocktail culture in the early twentieth century.
