The Savoy Cocktail Book is a monument of cocktail literature. Published at the height of Prohibition, Craddock's collection preserved the recipes and techniques of a vanishing American bar culture within the walls of London's Savoy Hotel. Many of the drinks we consider classics today — including the Corpse Reviver No. 2 — survive because of this book.
