Vintage 1952 A Guide to Pink Elephants Vol 1 Cocktail Recipe Book Mid-Century MCM The Ultimate Mid-Century Party Guest: A Guide to Pink Elephants (Vol. 1, 1952) Looking to mix a drink that would make Don Draper nod in quiet approval? This 1952 edition of A Guide to Pink Elephants is the quintessential bar companion for the mid-century modern enthusiast. Published by Richards Rosen Associates, this Handy Aid Book features 200 of the most requested mixed drinks of the era, all cleverly printed on sturdy, alcohol-resistant cards—because the 1950s knew that a good party is occasionally a messy one. Why this copy is a collector’s Double Shot: • The Recipes: Includes classics like the East India Cocktail and the Chicago Cocktail (yes, that one involves champagne). • The Design: Iconic pink elephant motifs, spiral binding, and original tabbed dividers for Brandies, Cordials, Gin, and more. • The Secret Sauce Insert: This copy includes a vintage newspaper clipping from Food Network Kitchens titled Variety of drinks quenches all thirsts, offering a charming look at the history of punch and non-alcoholic mixers. • Condition: Excellent vintage character. The alcohol-resistant pages have done their job well over the last 70+ years. The spiral binding is intact, and the colors remain crisp. Whether you’re a serious mixologist or just want the coolest book on your bar cart, this little elephant is ready to come home with you.
