“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.

In this cocktail, we bring you the smooth yet bold notes of their relationship with an excellent Bourbon paired perfectly with the spice they brought forward to law enforcement with an in house made spiced peach. Sip this one slowly, police won’t be on their way for some time.

Detroit, 1920. The Automobile Industrial Revolution. Detroit roared to life as the beating heart of America’s automotive revolution.

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.

THE CHEMIST

Marie Curie, without any doubt the most influential chemist of the 1920’s and also the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person to win a Nobel Prize twice, and the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two scientific fields. Alongside her husband Pierre, she discovered the elements polonium and radium, unlocking the mysteries of radioactivity. Her relentless curiosity, brilliance, and courage paved the way for modern medicine and scientific research, making her one of history’s most inspiring figures.

CHARLES PONZI

Ever seen the movie “Catch me if you can” with Leonardo DiCaprio? Yes, that movie is based off of the true events from none other than Mr. Charles Ponzi. In the early 1920s, he promised investors massive profits through international postal coupons, but paid returns using money from new investors rather than real profits. At the height of his scheme, he defrauded millions of dollars before it all collapsed, giving rise to the term as we know it today, “Ponzi scheme.” Infamous for creating fake international credit postal coupons, fake cheques, fraudulent passports for travel, and bank fraud and forgery scams, his story became a lasting symbol of greed, deception, and the allure of easy wealth during the Roaring Twenties.

SINATRA’S BLACK TUXEDO

A signature part of his iconic style and image, international legend Frank Sinatra was always known for wearing a charcoal black tuxedo at his shows and performances, becoming synonymous with elegance and sophistication. Sinatra remains to this day the most well recognized jazz legend, capturing the hearts of all when those would indulge in his music. Jazz just wouldn’t be jazz without Sinatra coming on stage with a gin cocktail in his sharp black tuxedo, ready to stun the crowd. Imagine what it would be like to step back in time to witness that at your table first hand…

TWEETY BIRD

Believe it or not, “Tweety Bird” was actual bird well before it was turned into the Looney Tunes Cartoon as we know it today. 1922, the Hatchling on Broadway, Tweety was actually a real life bird performer who made his “debut” as a vaudeville novelty act — a cheeky little canary who would interrupt singers with his squeaky catchphrase, “I tawt I taw a puddy tat!” The line quickly became a crowd favorite in smoky cabaret clubs and live jazz performers in underground speakeasies. By the height of Prohibition, Tweety Bird was “performing” at underground jazz clubs, often perched on the piano while ragtime tunes rolled. Legend has it he once upstaged a trumpeter by scatting along in perfect sync. Hollywood moguls spotted Tweety’s potential and slipped him into silent comedies. Since he couldn’t “talk” on screen, title cards would flash his iconic lisping quips. Fans adored it — making him one of the first feathered film stars of the era. After the stock market crash in 1929, Tweety “retired” to a quieter life in birdcages across America — but by the 1940s, Warner Bros. would reinvent him for the screen we know today.

Moonlight in Vermont

To this day, Moonlight in Vermont remains arguably one of the most popular jazz songs of all time. Originally written in the early 1900’s by a fellow by the name of Ethan, the song was aimed towards describing a love one can only dream of. He set up his saxophone near a rustic wooden bridge, beneath the luminescent moon, and started playing the magical tune which we know today. Remastered by the Jazz worlds biggest names like Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and others. Ethan composed a new melody inspired by his love journey with a woman named Lily, ensuring that his song would forever live on through music. Fast forward more than 100 years and Moonlight in Vermont still depicts a love story which we can only hope to experience atleast once ourselves. In this cocktail, we bring you a wonderful twist on an Espresso Martini that will make you feel lucky that you get to fall in love with our flawless concoction.

THE LAST ROYALTY

By 1918, Tsar Nicholas II and his family were executed following the Russian Revolution so by the 1920’s the Russian Monarchy had already fallen. There was no more Russian royalty in power, only exiled Romanovs scattered across Europe. Commanding one of the largest and richest empires in the world, his authority was absolute — stretching across a sixth of the Earth’s land, from Europe to the Pacific. The Romanov family lived in extraordinary luxury, surrounded by glittering palaces, priceless jewels, and vast estates, while millions of peasants struggled in poverty. The imperial court dazzled with gold and ceremony, symbolizing a world of immense privilege and divine power. Yet beneath the grandeur, unrest brewed — and in 1917, that empire of wealth and tradition crumbled, ending centuries of royal rule. We create a royal cocktail after the royal canapés of his choice, particularly one he was most known for. Dates with freshly harvested honey. This cocktail is one his royalty would be proud to be indulging in.

JAN. 17, 1920

The day where everything went underground. The gavel bangs on the judges desk and just like that, it is PROHIBITED to sell alcohol in any way, shape, or form. The biggest upset in economical history. Although this was the day the law was passed to ban alcohol, it didn’t stop people from living their best rebellious life. As a result, speakeasies were born and the best cocktails known to man were perfected. Barreled whiskey was stored in the safest places and people got real cheeky and crafty about finding ways to scoff down drinks despite their illegal title. Tonight, be just as rebellious as those that repealed against the dreadful Prohibition Law passed on January 17, 1920. Sip your whiskey, cheers loud, and get wild while the sale and consumption of alcohol is prohibited!
