The Prohibition Era in the United States marked a unique moment in history, where the sale and consumption of alcohol were prohibited for nearly fourteen years, from 1919 to 1933. However, this time of restriction did not quench the thirst of cocktail enthusiasts; instead, it gave rise to the creation of some of the most iconic drinks in classic mixology. Join our Prohibition Week from April 5th to 27th as we explore the legacy of Prohibition and celebrate the innovation alongside the ingenuity that emerged in times of restriction with exclusive cocktails crafted in collaboration with Brown-Forman.
The Boulevardier
It is one of those iconic cocktails of the Prohibition era. Created in the 1920s by Harry McElhone for “The Boulevardier” magazine, this cocktail combines the robustness of bourbon with the bitterness of Campari and the sweetness of vermouth, creating a unique flavor experience that has stood the test of time.
Old Fashioned
Another classic, according to legend, this drink originated at the Pendennis Club in Louisville, Kentucky, in the 1880s. Bourbon, sugar, water, and bitters were mixed to create a simple yet delicious drink that became a favorite among drinkers of the time.
Mint Julep
A beverage dating back to the 19th century and popularized during Prohibition. Made with bourbon, sugar, mint, and crushed ice, it is a refreshing cocktail that became a popular choice for combating the summer heat.
