With the Manhattan Cocktail, a development began that led to a golden age of bar culture. We separate this ongoing development into an early and a late period in 1900. On the one hand, Harry Johnson’s 2nd edition of the “New and Improved Bartender’s Manual” appeared in this year (we had let the “early period” begin with this in 1882). On the other hand, the early and late periods each cover 18 years, because the last important bar books before Prohibition were published until 1917. This golden age of bartending came to an abrupt end with the beginning of American Prohibition in 1920.
Due to the numerous publications available, this paper is published in several parts, as follows:
- Part 1: Introduction
- Part 2: Literature in the 19th century before Harry Johnson (1827 – 1881)
- Part 3: Literature from Harry Johnson to the turn of the century (1882 – 1899)
- Part 4: Literature in the 20th Century up to the Beginning of Prohibition (1900 – 1919)
- Part 5: Literature in the Time of Prohibition (1920 – 1933)
- Part 6: Literature after Prohibition until the USA’s Entry into World War 2 (1934 – 1941)
- Part 7: Literature after 1941

The title and also the copyright are identical to the 1913 edition, but they are not identical in content. The reprint here has been expanded to include recipes, so it is safe to assume that the year of publication was also 1914.

Hi Armin & Frank!
I cannot find the words to express how important your work has become for us seeking knowledge in our field, neither to thank you for that.
Having said that, let me ask you a question that I guess has no answer yet but… Did you finally got a clue about the identity of that “Harry Montague”, co-author and author of “New Bartender’s Guide” (1913) and “The Up-To-Date Bartenders’ Guide” (1914) respectively?
I couldn’t find any information about this person, I guess must be a nom de plume, but find very strange to see his name associated with that of the very well known Charles Mahoney.
Thanks in advance for your kind reply
Un abrazo from Argentina!
Hi Daniel,
Thank you very much for your kind words. It’s always a pleasure to help you all to learn more about mixed drinks. It’s great to know that there are inquisitive bar friends all over the world.
You’re right, I don’t have an answer to your question either. I couldn’t find anything about “Harry Montague”. Maybe it really is a pseudonym. But maybe one of our readers knows more and can help us learn more about it?
Un abrazo from both of us back to Argentina!
