EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the vibrant and exhilarating world of the 1920s cocktail craze, as captured in this enchanting page from The Sketch magazine, dated January 17, 1929. The page is a dazzling array of advertisements, showcasing the most popular drinks and mixers of the era. At the heart of the page, two enticing cocktail recipes are proudly displayed, inviting readers to recreate the magic of the Roaring Twenties in their own homes. The first cocktail, "The Corpse Reviver No. 2," promises to "revive the body, arouse the intellect, and embolden the spirit." The second, "The Boulevardier," is described as a "refreshing and sophisticated" alternative to the classic Old Fashioned. The advertisements surrounding the recipes showcase an impressive lineup of spirits and mixers, including the elegant Vermouth, the versatile Cointreau, the robust Canadian Club whisky, and the exotic Bacardi rum. The page also highlights Wilson and Gill, the go-to destination for all cocktail accoutrements, from shakers and strainers to glasses and ice molds. The 1920s were a time of innovation and indulgence, and this page from The Sketch beautifully encapsulates the spirit of the era. Raise a glass to the past and join the cocktail craze that swept the nation, as you savor the flavors and memories of a bygone era.
