Speakeasy Cocktails: 50 Classic Cocktails from the Decades of Decadence

A collection of ingenious prohibition-style cocktail recipes for the thirsty imbiber.

Prohibition in the United States may have banned liquor, but spirits still flowed freely in the back alleys, speakeasies, and countrysides - in fact, many of the best cocktails came out of (and long survived) those dry years. Whether it was to cover up a particularly unpalatable batch of hooch, or to stretch a little bit a long way, the Prohibition era birthed some of happy hour's most iconic - and creative - cocktails.

While some cocktails were invented during the 1920s, many cocktails that existed before the era just became more popular. From rum to gin cocktails, Speakeasy Classics offers 50 cocktails to tempt your senses and tickle your taste buds.
