How the Prohibition law of 1920 made alcohol, savored in secret,
all the more delectable when the cocktail shaker was forced to go
"underground" "Roaring Twenties" America boasted famous firsts:
women's right to vote, jazz music, talking motion pictures, flapper
fashions, and wondrous new devices like the safety razor and the
electric vacuum cleaner. The privations of the Great War were over,
and Wall Street boomed. The decade opened, nonetheless, with a
shock when Prohibition became the law of the land on Friday,
January 16, 1920, when the Eighteenth Amendment banned
"intoxicating liquors." Decades-long campaigns to demonize
alcoholic beverages finally became law, and America officially went
"dry." American ingenuity promptly rose to its newest challenge.
The law, riddled with loopholes, let the 1920s write a new chapter
in the nation's saga of spirits. Men and women spoke knowingly of
the speakeasy, the bootlegger, rum-running, black ships, blind
pigs, gin mills, and gallon stills. Passwords ("Oscar sent me")
gave entree to night spots and supper clubs where cocktails
abounded, and bartenders became alchemists of timely new drinks
like the Making Whoopee, the Petting Party, the Dance the
Charleston. A new social event-the cocktail party staged in a
private home-smashed the gender barrier that had long forbidden
"ladies" from entering into the gentlemen-only barrooms and cafes.
From the author of Gilded Age Cocktails, this book takes a
delightful new romp through the cocktail creations of the early
twentieth century, transporting readers into the glitz and
(illicit) glamour of the 1920s. Spirited and richly illustrated,
Jazz Age Cocktails dazzles with tales of temptation and temperance,
and features charming cocktail recipes from the time to be
recreated and enjoyed.

There's a basic cocktail formula for building a bar that is
anything but ordinary. Spirit + Sugar + Acidity/Bitterness = Tasty
Cocktail Instead of drawing on esoteric bottles of liquor,
complicated syrups, and obscure sodas, this book takes readers
through the home bar bottle by bottle, ensuring that every
ingredient is versatile enough to be used to the last drop.
Building on a very basic cocktail pantry (of Angostura bitters,
sugar, citrus), each chapter thoughtfully introduces a new bottle
and explains how it opens new possibilities for cocktails. Each
chapter builds on the one before, so readers never encounter
recipes calling for unfamiliar spirits or ingredients. RAISING THE
BAR allows readers to set their own pace and maximize the
usefulness of the spirits they bring home. This book will be a
go-to reference for the home bartender that is practical enough for
the day-to-day and special enough for a party. With handsome
graphics and a smart focus on what's already in stock, it's what
home mixologists can turn to when they want creative and delightful
drinks without a bar cart full of single-use bottles.
What are the distilleries' secrets to the creation of a whisky with
a unique flavour? From the Scottish Lowlands to the island of
Islay, from Irish whiskey to bourbon, they are all the result of
artful production processes which are imbued with the richness of
natural elements such as the purity of Scottish water springs. To
know a little more about this product, a wide selection of brands
are presented in this book, featuring their original bottles, their
specific qualities and the history of the men who created them.
Each brand tells the story of a spirit that recently celebrated its
500th anniversary.
