Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails: Prohibition Centennial Edition
From the 1920 Pick-Me-Up to the Zombie and Beyond - 150+ Rediscovered Recipes and the Stories Behind Them, With a New Introduction and 66 New Recipes
Ted Haigh
Nothing is so desired as the thing denied. Prohibition made people want cocktails very, very badly. Because "synthetic" liquor was the easiest to make, it was also the easiest to get. Problematically, it tasted awful and wasn't exactly good for you either. Cocktails with their mélange of flavors were a made-to-order method for disguising the bad hooch.
Along with 100+ rare and delicious authentic recipes gathered from old cocktail manuals and scraps of paper never published, this illustrated trip down mixology lane tells the fascinating origins of the cocktail and how it evolved over time, including its rising popularity during Prohibition. Vintage illustrations and advertisements, photos of old bottles and cocktail artifacts, and fascinating Prohibition-era photographs bring the tippling past back to vivid life.
Recipes for rare treasures like The Fogcutter, Knickerbocker à la Monsieur, The Moscow Mule, and Satan’s Whiskers are each presented with:
- Historical background on its origin and cultural context
- Drink Notes that provide additional information on ingredients and tips for substitutions and variations
- Fascinating historical ephemera from Dr. Cocktail's personal collection
