Gatsby Cocktails

The glamor of the cocktail comes to life in this collection of authentic recipes from the 20s and 30s.

In Juleps & Smashes, discover the secret to Jay Gatsby’s tipple of choice the cooling Mint Julep. Perfect the classic Martini in Martinis & Aperitifs or try a tempting 20s classic such as a Raspberry Rickey from a sparkling selection of Rickeys & Fizzes.

With more than 20 classic recipes, Gatsby Cocktails captures the iconic elegance of the Prohibition era.
