Prohibition Era
History
Speakeasies transformed drinking from a primarily male saloon culture into a broader social experience. Women began attending bars in larger numbers during the 1920s, and cocktails became associated with fashion, music, nightlife, and sophistication.
The era also accelerated:
- Cocktail innovation
- Bartending creativity
- International influence on American drinks
- The popularity of champagne and gin cocktails
- The connection between jazz culture and nightlife
Taste Testing:
You will be sampling a flight of different “Modifiers.” These modifiers are essential to this era of cocktails and are mostly overlooked in the grand scheme of things. Also, you will get a chance to sample REAL grenadine syrup. You’ll be amazed what a cocktail back in the day tastes like with this grenadine and not that bright red sh*t you buy in a bottle.
