Cocktail Culture
After Prohibition, Americans redeveloped their taste
for alcohol. By the 1930s, many Americans had come to view the consumption
of wine and liquor as an essential component of the "good life."
Writers, film actors, artists, and other visible models of glamorous success
reinforced this idea.
With cocktail culture in full swing, numerous guides appeared which showed readers how to equip their home bars and impress their friends with alluring concoctions.
