Spirited Ephemera: Cocktail and Liquor History Through Paper

A simple libation carries with it a long history of alcohol production, distribution, marketing, sales, and culture. In this illustrated slideshow,  this history is revealed through books and printed ephemera as varied as the cocktails themselves, including tavern licenses, label designs, trade catalogues, trademark litigation, cocktail recipe books, and pamphlets. The program includes "Happy Hour" beverages and snacks!
