This is the digital library of vintage cocktail books from the Exposition Universelle des Vins et Spiritueux collection. The goal of this project is to bring EUVS founder Paul Ricard's wish to create a "permanent encyclopaedia" of the beverage industry into the 21st century by making these materials digitally available to a broad international audience.

To view a searchable PDF of a particular volume, simply click the image.

You will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed in your system to read and search each file.

This is an ongoing project throughout 2008 and 2009. So please return often to discover new sections and entries.
