Judge Jr.'sHere's How [Judge Publishing:New York 1927] is the quintessential catalog of prohibition-era mixology. Beverages are presented with playful headnotes and closing toasts. "Gordon Water" is a primary ingredient.This was gin. Whether "bathtub" or brand name, the author does not elucidate. "McCarty" is defined thusly: "An amber-colored liquid that comes from Havana, usually in pockets." If you know what this is can you pleaseshare?. The author omits mixing instructions, garnishes and glassware.Indeed, this trim book (3" X 5", 63 pages) packs a punch. Additional information onspeakeasy dining& prohibition parties.
