The Roaring Twenties

Cocktails first became popular during the Prohibition, when the production, sale and consumption of any form of alcoholic beverage was illegal. Not to be swayed by a silly little law, people took to brewing homemade spirits in their bathtubs, basements and backwoods distilleries.

The products of these dubious experiments, while potent, were unpleasant tasting…some were downright undrinkable! But by adding a few liqueur, juices and sweeteners, the low-grade spirits became palatable, and the popularity of the cocktail soared.

As time went by and laws changed, cocktails became fashionable across the United States and throughout Europe. In current culture, cocktails are extremely popular with novice drinkers and connoisseurs alike and remain a staple at fine drinking establishments around the world.
