Here is a list of very popular 1920's cocktail recipes:

There is a recipe called Pink Murder that could be called Bathtub Gin! There is also the very popular at the time recipe for Mint Julep.

The page mentioned in the previous post appears to be missing. Has it moved? Is there another place to find the same or a similar list of recipes for 1920s cocktails?

Thanks,
Thomas

Thanks for pointing that out! I moved my Recipes. I have now corrected the link.

That link's inactive again.

That is beyond strange. My whole recipes folder disappeared and there is no way that should ever happen. I have a programmer working on my rsvp system, so maybe he accidentally removed it. Far fetched, but I cannot imagine any other reason for it to vanish like that. It is all back now and I really do appreciate you letting me know it wasn't there.

I was wondering about the Pink Murder cocktail, I can nowhere find Rasberry Gingerale, but they do have Cranberry. Would this work?

Thanks!

[2coolbaby]

It probably would, or alternatively you could possibly mix some raspberry crystal light with some plain ginger ale or seltzer water. I am thinking that this is what we did New Year's Eve, but since I didn't do the mixing, I can't say absolutely

Thanks! Ima try the Cranberry Ginger-ale it is afterall called Pink Murder, it shouldn't taste good. lol

Hi, I was wondering about the Pink Murder recipe again. Is it like one kool-aid package of country time lemonade? Please help asap! Thanks!!

[2coolbaby]

The amount of country time or crystal light lemonade needed to make 2 quarts. That is usually one package, tube or small plastic tub.

The good thing about these cocktails was that they used grains of paradise in the recipe. This is the reason the taste is so unique and unlike anything that is available today.
