Prohibition cocktails

The early 1920s were full of glitz and glamor!

But also the time of prohibition the U.S. where the sale and production of alcohol was banned. And since the only spirits people could get their hand on was high proof “moonshine” that, let’s say, wasn’t famous for its taste, it also led to a surge in creativity when it came to drink mixing.

When the ban was finally lifted, the flood of cocktails that had arisen are still echoed in todays bar menus around the world, including the famous Mint Julep and Tom Collins.
