Description: Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails: Prohibition Centennial Edition by Ted Haigh Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Historian, expert, and drink aficionado Dr. Cocktail explains how the prohibition period launched a cultural shift that elevated the art of the cocktail, saved women and children, and spread ripples around the world. Publisher Description In this new, updated edition, Dr. Cocktail vastly widens his examination of 1920-1933, the thirteen-year period when women got the Vote, child labor was abolished and, ironically, saw the cocktail elevated, prolonged, and expanded, spreading this signature American drink form in tasty ripples around the world. All this, plus more drink recipes! 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 wasnt exactly good for you either. Cocktails with their melange 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 a la Monsieur, The Moscow Mule, and Satans Whiskers are each presented with:Historical background on its origin and cultural contextDrink Notes that provide additional information on ingredients and tips for substitutions and variationsA luscious, full-color photo of the cocktailA resource guide at the back tells you exactly where to get some of the rarer ingredients. This homage to the great bartenders of the past and the beverages they created also profiles some of the most influential cocktail pioneers of today. For anyone who enjoys an icy drink and an unforgettable tale, this is a must-have volume. Author Biography Ted Haigh, a.k.a.
