  The Book This is the book the recipe came from. The front and back are made of wood, and the image on the front was hand painted. I am not sure how old it is; however, it is at least 60 – 70 years old. It is all about cocktails, how to make them, with tips/tricks. Every time I open it, I think of the sweet southern lady that gave it to me.
