Synopsis
During the height of the Prohibition, one anonymous physician compiled more than 200 recipes for "compounding" spirits, hiding the manuscript from authorities. By adding extracts, essences and oils to plain old sugar moonshine, bootleggers would simulate the taste of gin, whiskey, cordials, rums, absinthes...booze that was otherwise impossible to procure. The potential profits were staggering. This document fell into the hands of author Matthew Rowley, who became fascinated with the process of compounding and the historical events that lead to this mysterious and lucrative manuscript. In addition to annotating the actual pages of the book, Rowley provides a historical background and gives his readers an overview of the process, updating some of the recipes for modern distillers, bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts.

Lost Recipes of Prohibition features more than 70 pages from this notebook, with explanations and descriptions for real and faked spirits. Readers will also find historic and modern cocktails from some of today's leading bartenders, including rum shrubs, DIY summer cups, sugar-frosted "ice" cordials, 19th- and 21st-century cinnamon whiskeys, homemade creme de menthe, absinthe-spiked cocktail onions, caramel lemonade, and more. 75 full color illustrations."

From Goodreads: "Nearly everyone has heard of bathtub gin, but how many people know what it really wasor how to make it?

GoodReads rating: 3.75 stars. From a 2016 review by Martin Doudoroff: "How things were often done, for better or worse. A borderline coffee-table book, but one where the extravagant layout makes sense, given this book is (partly) a massively annotated reprinting of a hand-written compounders notebook. The book does discuss Prohibitionand it's as enjoyable a book on that topic as I've readbut that's not really what the book is about, either; for example, it is just as illuminating of the 19th Century. Really, this is a book about making things for the bar and the history of that know-how. I'd estimate this book is **mandatory material** for every bartender involved in mixology, because it fills in loads of more-technical history than other historians, such as David Wondrich, can supply. Whether you'll actually make many of the recipes herein is a different question, but your perspective on compounding will be altered, and you'll understand old drink recipe books in a new light.". First Printing of the First Edition. Oversize Hardcover. Near Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket. Illus. by NOT a library discard. xxii, 234pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.
