In 1930, the Savoy Hotel published The Savoy Cocktail Book, a now-legendary compilation of 750 recipes assembled by Harry Craddock of the American Bar, with Art Deco illustrations by Gilbert Rumbold. This 2023 reprint is a full-color facsimile of the original edition, reproduced from the source pages rather than reset via optical character recognition, so it keeps the look and texture of the first printing.

The book is primarily cocktails, but it’s also a snapshot of bar culture between wars: sours and slings, fizzes and flips, punches and juleps, plus a handful of nonalcoholic drinks. There’s also a substantial section on wines, with notes that move through Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Champagne alongside Rhine wines, port, and sherry. For collectors and working bartenders alike, it’s a reference that still feels alive on the page.
