The Red Book

Last night my parents told me that when I was little, I would read our copy of a bar guide. (As in how to mix drinks.) How little was I? So little I don't even remember that. Or the book. Perhaps I am destined to be a bartender. They tell me that it was a red book, with tall pages. So I, being the Tolkien nut that I am, immediately think "Red Book of Westmarch." I wonder if it has blank pages in the back with which to record new drink recipes?
