SHOULD LIKE to take this opportunity to congratulate all members of the International Bartenders Association on the celebration of the 40th anniversary of their organization. Particularly, I should like to thank the IBA president, Umberto Caselli, for the opportunity given to us to publish this book. At the same time I must also mention Jan van Hagen, IBA vice-president for Europe: without his knowledge and enthusiasm we should never have been able to publish this book.
From almost the very beginning, in 1951, there has been a close, fruitful relationship between the IBA and this distillery - a relationship developed at pace with the continuing increase of the IBA.
Bartenders are often - rightly - compared with ambassadors, for they are the representatives of their employers and are the people with the most direct and personal contact with the consumer.

SHOULD LIKE to take this opportunity to congratulate all members of the International Bartenders Association on the celebration of the 40th anniversary of their organization.

From almost the very beginning, in 1951, there has been a close, fruitful relationship between the IBA and this distillery - a relationship developed at pace with the continuing increase of the IBA.
Bartenders are often - rightly - compared with ambassadors, for they are the representatives of their employers and are the people with the most direct and personal contact with the consumer. The bartender's opinions are valued as much as his professional expertise, a reflection of which is collected in this book.
In publishing this book we should like to pay tribute to all the bartenders of the IBA who, over the past forty years, have used our products as a vital ingredient in their numerous creations. It allows us also to remind our readers of the consistent quality of our products - a balanced combination of heritage from 1575 and enjoyment today. It is my sincere hope that the launch of this Bols Book of IBA Cocktails will further strengthen the worldwide friendship that exists between the members of the IBA and this company.
