The Flowing Bowl: When and What to Drink

Edward Spencer's discursive classic mixes drink history with recipes — a literary book about drinking rather than a working manual, celebrated for its chapters on punch and on what to eat with what you drink.

Literary history with recipes; context rather than manual.

Background

Published by Grant Richards in 1903, it reads like a club-room essay collection — history, anecdote and recipe intertwined. For the cocktail canon it is context rather than source; for the reader, among the most charming books written about drinking.
