Prohibition Violations

Mary Pickford

Mary Pickford
  • 2 oz light rum
    (for non-alcoholic, skip the rum)
  • 2 oz pineapple juice
  • 1 tsp grenadine
  • Garnish: Maraschino cherry

More about this drink

Mary Pickford was America’s sweetheart in the 1920s and starred in silent movies alongside famous chaps like Charlie Chaplin, and rum was one of the hottest commodities during the Prohibition. The story goes that she, her husband Douglas Fairbanks, and Chaplin were in Havana when a bartender whipped up this tropical concoction and named it in her honor.

Sidecar

Sidecar
  • 2 oz cognac or Armagnac
  • 1 oz Cointreau orange liqueur
  • ¾ oz lemon juice
  • Garnish: lemon or orange twist

More about this drink

Few cocktails can rival the iconic sidecar: it’s one of the great sour drinks found in every bartending guide published around Prohibition. This brandy sour is often served with cognac, orange liqueur, and lemon juice; and in true 30s fashion, add a sugar rim for a sweet contrast.

Gin Rickey

Gin Rickey
  • 2 oz gin
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 4 oz club soda
  • Garnish: 1 lime wedge

More about this drink

The gin rickey is a refreshing highball drink that dates back to the early 1900s. It’s a classic from the era – so much so that it’s still Washington D.C.’s official cocktail! The original likely contained bourbon or whiskey, because that was preferred before they started mixing up gin in bathtubs during Prohibition.
