The transition from Prohibition spirits to modern mixology
In short: Discover how the 1930s marked a turning point for cocktail history. This video explores the Savoy Cocktail Book and its role in introducing new ingredients like tequila and vodka to the global bar scene.
During the Prohibition era, cocktail books began featuring ingredients that were previously uncommon, such as tequila and vodka. A primary example of this evolution is found in The Savoy Cocktail Book, compiled in 1930 by Harry Craddock.
Craddock, a renowned bartender at London's Savoy Hotel, used his vast knowledge to create one of the most significant drink collections of the 20th century. The video examines early vodka-based recipes within this collection and provides practical guidance for those looking to understand historic mixology.
