Pre-Prohibition inspired brown & stirred with homemade cedar bitters and Rittenhouse Rye. A luxurious mix of spirits with a bright suggestion of the California coast. Cocktail invented by the talented and eccentric August Moshito. #rittenhouserye #cocktail #goldenera #pharmacy #craftcocktails #historiccocktails #heavenhill #vintage #whiskey #whiskeywomen #vintage #love #bar #bartender #craft #bitters #follow

With a blend of tacky and classy, this vodka, China China and nasturtium Collins was inspired by the Fern Bars of the 1970's. Though often scoffed at, I've always had a fondness for Tiffany lamps, chachkies, potted plants and even the often terrible drinks that accompany the outrageous spaces. A little novelty never hurts! #fernbars #craftcocktails #historiccocktails #lecturesonlibations #nasturtium #love #bar #bartender #passion #potion #cocktail #vodka #follow

Though rarely consumed by the Everyman in Speakies, the French 75's became an iconic symbol of Prohibition. The drink was first made with cognac alongside the battlefields of WWI and was later brought back by our boys to the states. This summertime variation includes Lillet Rouge, St. George Botanivore Gin and a Meyer lemon oleo saccharum. #Stgeorgegin #botanivore #oleosaccharum #craftcocktails #historiccocktails #lecturesonlibations #prohibition #speakeasy #bar #gin #lillet #love #champagne #follow #bartender #vintage
