Did you know? Many classic cocktails that we enjoy today were either created or popularized during the Prohibition era (1920-1933) in the United States. Because the quality of illegally produced alcohol was often poor, bartenders had to get creative with mixers to mask the harsh taste. This led to the invention of many now-famous cocktails like the Sidecar, the Bee's Knees, and the French 75, which used ingredients like citrus juice, honey, and other strong flavors to make the drinks more palatable. This era of forced innovation significantly shaped cocktail culture as we know it.
