HTML:<p>"The drinking and leisure scene in the United States boomed after Prohibition, with mixologists across the country developing all kinds of new-fangled concoctions behind the bar-- and a freshly liberated America couldn't get enough. The unique lounges, hotel bars, and more exotic drinking venues (ice rinks, carousels, and tropical gardens, just to name a few) defined this era of drinking culture and were immortalized in the linen postcards used to advertise them.</p> <p>With more than 50 classic cocktail recipes (as well as several modern twists), fascinating historical vignettes, and over 150 pieces of vintage ephemera, you'll be transported to an era of unbridled indulgence and distinct glamour."--</p> Back cover.
