Thanks for posting this!

I love comparing recipes from the old published cocktail guides.

For example I've been making Monte Carlo's with 1 part rye to 1 part benedictine.

The Trader Vics 1947 guide lists it as 1.5 bourbon (I prefer rye) to .5 benedictine.

This guide settles nicely in the middle at 2/3 rye 1/3 benedictine

I love that they emphasize the importance of measuring ingredients (Accuracy means Uniformity!)

That Zombie recipe looks like it might be worth trying.

And I'll definitely be making myself those swizzles.

Looks like I'll be digging around to add this to my cocktail book shelf.
