THE IDEAL BARTENDER

by
TOM BULLOCK
1917
DEDICATED
TO THOSE WHO ENJOY SNUG CLUB ROOMS, THAT THEY MAY LEARN THE ART OF
PREPARING FOR THEMSELVES WHAT IS GOOD.
IS IT ANY WONDER THAT MANKIND STANDS OPEN-MOUTHED BEFORE THE

BARTENDER, CONSIDERING THE MYSTERIES AND MARVELS OF AN ART THAT
BORDERS ON MAGIC? RECIPES FOUND IN THIS BOOK HAVE BEEN COMPOSED
AND COLLECTED, TRIED AND TESTED, IN A QUARTER-CENTURY OF EXPERIENCE
BY TOM BULLOCK OF THE ST. LOUIS COUNTRY CLUB.
A testimonial from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch which appeared in the form of an editorial,
Wednesday evening, May 28, 1913, at a time when Col. Roosevelt was vindicating, by a libel
suit, his reputation for sobriety and temperance.
Colonel Roosevelt's fatal admission that he drank just a part of one julep at the St. Louis Country
Club will come very near losing his case.
Who was ever known to drink just a part of one of Tom's? Tom, than whom there is no greater
mixologist of any race, color or condition of servitude, was taught the art of the julep by no less
than Marse Lilburn G. McNair, the father of the julep. In fact, the very cup that Col. Roosevelt
drank it from belonged to Governor McNair, the first Governor of Missouri, the great-
grandfather of Marse Lilburn and the great-great-grandfather of the julep.
As is well known, the Country Club mint originally sprang on the slopes of Parnassus and was
transplanted thence to the bosky banks of Culpeper Creek, Gaines County, Ky., and thence to our
own environs; while the classic distillation with which Tom mingles it to produce his chief
d'oeuvre is the oft-quoted liquefied soul of a Southern moonbeam falling aslant the dewy slopes
of the Cumberland Mountains.
To believe that a red-blooded man, and a true Colonel at that, ever stopped with just a part of one
of those refreshments which have made St. Louis hospitality proverbial and become one of our
most distinctive genre institutions, is to strain credulity too far. Are the Colonel's powers of self
restraint altogether transcendent? Have we found the living superman at last?
When the Colonel says that he consumed just a part of one he doubtless meant that he did not
swallow the Mint itself, munch the ice and devour the very cup.
INTRODUCTION
I have known the author of "The Ideal Bartender" for many years, and it is a genuine privilege to
be permitted to testify to his qualifications for such a work.
To his many friends in St. Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Chicago and elsewhere, my word will be
superfluous, but to those who do not know him, and who are to be the gainers by following his
advices, it may prove at the very beginning a stimulus to know something of his record of
achievement.
For the past quarter of a century he has refreshed and delighted the members and their friends of
the Pendennis Club of Louisville and the St. Louis Country Club of St. Louis. In all that time I
doubt if he has erred in even one of his concoctions. Thus if there is "many a slip twixt the cup
and the lip" it has been none of his doing, but rather the fault of those who have appreciated his
art too highly. But why go on! His work is before you. It is the best to be had. Follow on, and as
you sip the nectar of his schemings tell your friends, to the end that both they and he may be
benefitted.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats
readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new
computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people
in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical
to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection
will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project
Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.
Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational
corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by
the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-
6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible
to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.
The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116,
(801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the
Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and
donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works
that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of
equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly
important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable
donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it
takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these
requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written
confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for
any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the
solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations
from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning
tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our
small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses.
Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit
card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of
electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are
confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus,
we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations
to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and
how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
