Harman Burke, aka Barney Burke was an American bartender, who spent the 1920s and early-1930s in Europe - honing his craft in Berlin, Copenhagen, London, and Paris. Returning to the US after the repeal of the Prohibition, Burked published the current book, containing not only numerous cocktails, but also recipes for appetizers and savory treats to accompany those cocktails, especially when entertaining company. Many of the drinks were classics, but with a "Burke" twist, including the first mention of the Old-Fashioned with muddled, or mull-ed fruit. Very good .
