Prohibition Cocktails: 21 Secrets & Recipes - Paperback

by Denitta Ward (Author)

Prohibition Cocktails reveals the history, secrets and recipes of 21 of the most popular drinks of the Roaring Twenties. From 1920-1933 the United States Constitution forbade the production, sale, and transport of intoxicating liquor and until repeal by the 21st Amendment - the rules were clear and made to be broken. The speakeasy cocktail culture flourished. Creativity abounded with drinks from the sweet Mary Pickford to the startling Monkey Gland, all rich with history and humor.

Bartending recipes with stories of each drink's origin, color photos, and a cocktail party planning guide included with 1920s appetizer suggestions, hit music of the Roaring Twenties, photo booth prop ideas, and a cocktail shopping list.

Travel back to when the cocktails were created and the rules were clear and made to be broken.

Prohibition Cocktails is a companion to the bestselling Prohibition-Era novel Somewhere Still by Denitta Ward, called "a vivid portrait of Kansas City in the Roaring Twenties" and "well done" by Kirkus Reviews. Finalist, Wishing Shelf Book Award
