Thrifty Finds July (Week 4) #1 Burke's Complete Cocktail and Tastybite Recipes

 Burke's Complete Cocktail and Tastybite Recipes, published in 1936. Super cute small ( 6.5" x 4") vintage cocktail book by "Barney" Burke. Mr. Burke was a bartender in Europe but returned to the United States after prohibition was repealed. The book starts with the recipes which include sandwiches, canapes, dips/sauces and rarebits, then the remaining two-thirds cover a myriad of cocktails, wines, cocktails of the world, tips for serving and equipment for home mixing. Mr. Burke firmly believed that appetizers should always be accompanied by a cocktail.
