Cocktails Across America – A Postcard View of Cocktail Culture in the 1930s, `40s, and `50s

Cocktail culture boomed in the United States after Prohibition as America couldn`t get enough of the new concoctions developed by barkeepers. Exotic drinking venues defined this era of drinking culture and were immortalised in the linen postcards used to advertise them. Transport yourself to an era of indulgence and glamour with over 50 vintage cocktail recipes (and modern twists), historical vignettes and more than 100 pieces of vintage ephemera.
