Prohibition and the Birth of Speakeasies: A Cocktail Revolution Welcome to today’s episode of our cocktail-themed podcast, where we delve into one of the most tumultuous yet transformative periods in American history: Prohibition, and the clandestine world of speakeasies that it spawned. The Prohibition era, spanning from 1920 to 1933, was a time when the production, importation, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages were banned across the United States. This period, driven by the temperance movement, aimed to curb alcohol consumption and eliminate the social problems associated with it. However, the reality was far from what the proponents envisioned.
