Bancks, J.C. (illustr.) Exclusive Cocktails from the Recipes of Usher’s Hotel. Second Edition. 1933. Booklet in pictorial covers tied by ribbon in very good condition. Preface by T.S. Carylon, General Manager of Usher’s Hotel in Sydney, Australia.
This concise but lovely book contains recipes for the signature drinks of Usher’s Hotel in Sydney, circa the early 1930s. Each recipe is garnished with a divine full color illustration. Please visit the Nick Harvill Libraries website for examples. The illustrations were rendered by J.C. Bancks who was the creator of the Ginger Meggs comic strips, published in the Sydney Sunday Sun from 1921 to 1951.
“All ingredients should be poured into a cocktail shaker, which should be shaken vigorously—not merely rocked. The object is to wake the mixture up—not to send it to sleep.”
