On January 16, 1924, you come across a Prohibition-related story in the American newspapers that is just so crazy you feel it’s only right to make a mockery of it—with a drink!

The Manhattan has stood the tests of time and taste. It is my opinion that if you are in the honorable profession of tending bar, the Manhattan is a drink that you must have in your bag of tricks.

The Seelbach Cocktail is worthy of a tall tale—it’s delicious! It’s refreshing and light but has enough body from the bourbon to make it a serious drink.

Ahhhh, the Sazerac cocktail, the official drink of New Orleans…what a drink, and what a history! It has stood the test of time, rolling with the ups and downs of the changing world and people’s changing tastes.

We will probably never know the exact origin of the name for sure. But one thing is certain: This drink is amazing and should be enjoyed at any time of day.
