Despite Prohibition, or perhaps because of it, Americans of the Jazz Age elevated cocktail culture into an art form.
“On the bar with a real brass rail, there was a small orchestra,” Fitzgerald writes of one of Gatsby’s parties.
Among the drinks associated with the era were the Mint Julep, Tom Collins, Sidecar and Gin Rickey.
A Mint Julep remains a refreshing symbol of the era, evoking both Gatsby’s fictional drama and the real-life exuberance of the Roaring Twenties.
Served in a silver cup or tall glass, the Mint Julep remains as timeless as Gatsby’s parties — a taste of the Jazz Age in every sip.
