IN SUMMER 2021, the owners of Cambridge Beaches asked me to help them solve a mystery. In a forgotten vault of the historic property, they discovered a cache of leather-bound books, filled with scribbled notes and illustrations whose meaning was impossible to discern. One look at the books and I knew at once what they had found: lost volumes of the Compendium Bibendium. Of course, we now know that the Compendium Bibendium is the handwritten history of the SUNKEN HARBOR CLUB, the mysterious organization founded centuries ago whose members scoured the globe in search of good things to drink. The Compendium is written in secret code, but years of amateur cryptography have yielded thrilling results: the pages of the compendium are filled with glimpses of forgotten worlds, tales of wild adventure and recipes for some of the most delicious drinks ever created. If the anonymous authors of the Compendium are to be believed, the SUNKEN HARBOR CLUB has existed for hundreds of years, and its members hail from every corner of the earth. Their thirst for knowledge of secret, mixological arts was unquenchable, as reflected in their motto Imus ad Infima — we go the deepest, or we go to the bottommost depths. As our code-breaking work progresses, more of the Club’s history in Bermuda will be revealed. In the meantime, we present this menu of cocktails once thought lost forever, translated from secret code, straight from the pages of the Compendium Bibendium. St. John Frizell Commodore Emeritus, Sunken Harbor Club
