“Each cocktail tells a story about the 1920’s Prohibition Era, how we were inspired to craft the cocktail, and a hint of what’s to come in yours”

JAPANS MODEN GARU

“Moden Garu” (モダンギャル) in Japan refers to a specific subculture that emerged in the late 1920’s towards the final years of the Prohibition Era, inspired and characterized by a blend of urban fashion, youthful rebellion, and cultural influences from various global trends. The term “garu” (ギャル) itself is a Japanese slang term that is often used to describe young women who embody a stylish, trendy aesthetic, often associated with bold clothing choices, heavy makeup, and distinct hairstyles. Modern Garu fashion often includes vibrant colors, oversized clothing, high platforms, and a mix of streetwear with influences from the West. Unique accessories and statement pieces were also common such as sleek Japanese Hand Fans. The Modern Garu movement also emphasizes a carefree, confident attitude, often embracing individuality and self-expression, ever so similar to the rebellious flappers in the Western Era. What really differentiated the Moden Garu was their meet ups. The ladies always sipping traditional Jasmine tea with herbs in their fancy China sets, grooming each others beauty, and taking immense pride in their gardens filled with the famous Japanese Cherry Blossom Trees. While the term has evolved over time, it still represents an important part of Japan’s fashion and youth culture scene, reflecting broader trends in society and self-expression among young women. While sipping this cocktail inspired by Japans Moden Garu, take a page out of their book. Be bold, be rebellious. Be YOU.

KING TUTS TOMB

King Tutankhamun’s (King Tuts) tomb, discovered in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, was found in November of 1922. Smack dead at the start of the Prohibition Era, the discovery was legendary and one of a kind. King Tut, more formally known as Tutankhamun, was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh who ruled of what we now know today as Egypt. Although he became one of the most famous pharaohs, he is particularly known for his tomb, which was discovered largely intact in 1922. This discovery is one of the most significant archaeological finds in history, as the tomb was found largely intact, filled with a wealth of artifacts, treasures such as the Ruby and Golden Goblets him and his army would drink wine from, stashes of weapons and his famous Golden Throne. The treasures found in Tutankhamun’s tomb included jewelry, weapons, and the iconic golden mask that symbolizes ancient Egyptian craftsmanship. Many of these artifacts are now housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Amongst one of the discoveries in King Tut’s Tomb was the hieroglyphs of Lycheefruit, a rare commodity in that time considering how impossible it would have been to grow such a fruit in a hot dessert climate where he ruled, signifying his love for the specific fruit and the journey his men must have taken to acquire it in their trade routes.

In this stunning cocktail, we deliver you King Tut’s favorite fruit in a perfectly crafted and artistic drink.

BONNIE & CLYDE

Bonnie and Clyde were two of the most infamous criminals in American history, known for their romantic partnership and a wave of bank robberies and violent crimes during the Great Depression era. Bonnie and Clyde formed a gang known as the Barrow Gang, which was responsible for numerous bank robberies, burglaries, and shootouts with law enforcement. Their crimes often involved violent encounters with police and rival criminals, leading to a growing public fascination with the couple as notorious outlaws. They became symbols of rebellion against societal norms, particularly during the difficult economic times of the 1930s. Their exploits were sensationalized by the media, which portrayed them both as romantic antiheroes. Bonnie’s photographs, often showcasing her with a cigarette or posing with a gun, added to their legendary status. The couple was known for their flamboyant style, often dressing sharply and exhibiting a carefree attitude towards their criminal lifestyle. They gained so much popularity that their getaway car of Choice, the Ford Model 40B was even used as a marketing ploy by Ford Motors. Ultimately, they were killed in a hail of gunfire, leaving behind a legacy that would endure in popular culture. Their story continues to resonate, representing themes of rebellion, love, and tragedy.

FATHER OF SAX

Coleman Hawkins, the person most famously associated with the saxophone in the 1920’s is often referred to as the “Father of the Tenor Saxophone,” Hawkins was instrumental in elevating the saxophone from a relatively new and less respected instrument in jazz to one that gained prominence in bands and solo performances. Gaining fame in the 1920s as a member of the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra, one of the first big bands in jazz history, his innovative playing style and improvisational skills helped define the sound of the tenor saxophone. Today, it’s hard to imagine what jazz would be without the beauty of the Saxophone. His most famous recording, “Body and Soul” (1939), which remains a jazz standard and showcases his masterful technique and emotional depth. To this day, his mature and robust sound, along with his ability to improvise complex solos, influenced countless musicians who followed. The gentleman in his quartet were known to drink Pisco straight from Peru which they received from the same lad who used to polish their instruments before showtime. Fast forward more than 100 years, we bring to your throne a cocktail the entire quartet would be proud of, made with the same style Pisco which united the whole band as one.

RMS TITANIC

An unfortunate tragedy we all know. Although this historical ship never saw the days of the Prohibition Era, we would still like to pay homage to the masterpiece of a ship as well as all the souls she lost on her fateful voyage. RMS Titanic, also known as the “Unsinkable Ship”. Commissioned by the White Star Line, at the Titanic was the largest ship in the world, measuring about 882 feet long and 92 feet wide. On April 15, 1912, during the early hours, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg at around 11:40 PM leading to fatal breaches in the hull. An estimated 1,500 passengers and crew perished, making it one of the deadliest maritime disasters in history. Only recently, the wreck was located.

MRS. DEAD HANDS

Widowed Women were unfortunately a common phenomenon in the 1920’s. There was a lot going on. World War 1 had just come to an end, the influenza pandemic wiped out millions, and The Great Depression are just a few things which made it just about impossible to not worry about what the next thing to stress about was. There is a tale, however, that particularly stands out about a widow from the 1920’s. A story of a woman named Charolette Hutch. Charolette, who was married to an ex-soldier during WW1 had tended to her husband’s care but he had eventually succumbed to his wounds during battle. In around the early twenties, due to a lack of financial support, she turned to the dark path of prostitution. During this time, men would abuse her physically and mentally. Something that she couldn’t handle and was too horrific to simply forget about. Trying to leave her troubled life behind, Charolette asked her closest friends and family for support, but with no luck. One morning, she woke up and so began a new chapter of her life. Vengeance. One by one, she took revenge for all those who mistreated her. At first, seducing her victims with her perfume and later haunting them. One story of a survivor remains where Charolette had invited a man back to her apartment in Chicago for dinner. The man described everything as being off. There were black candles lit, black roses on the dinner table, black plants in the background, and Charolette in her black dress with her netted widow weeping veil worn over her head and face. An entire layout which signified death. She later became known as “Mrs. Dead Hands”. The cocktail in which you are about to indulge yourself in compliments perfectly with the tale. Sweet and seductive Saffron infused Gin with the slightest touch of romantic honey – side by side with the fire charred dark and bold rosemary. Enjoy this one and hope you’re not next on her list.
