1933 ~ Ornament

1933 ~ The Year the Party Came Back

December 5, 1933 is the date Prohibition ended, and she treats it the way other people treat a national holiday, with a classic cocktail and a short speech. The number means nothing to most people and everything to the right one. Her annual Repeal Day gathering has a waiting list.

• Who Knows: The cocktail historian who can date a recipe by its glass.
• When It Shows: Early December, a bar cart dressed for history, a toast to legal pleasure.
• Gift Angle: For the friend who celebrates obscure anniversaries with excellent timing.

Cocktail Threads made this round ornament for the tree that stands beside the bar cart. Pick ceramic at 3 inches or aluminum at 3.6 inches, and it arrives with its hanging string. A wipe with a damp cloth keeps it ready for the next round.
