I would favor Beachbum Berry's recipes since he was reasearching the drink recipes from the bartenders and not from the 'companies.' Most of the Bum's recipes come from the little black books of the fine folks who were actually making the drinks and not from the point of view of the company tring to publish a cookbook (so to speak). When in doubt, make both and see which you like better.
