","The Cocktail Ephemera Collection is a collection that was created in 2013. The collection consists of materials in a variety of formats relating to the history of the cocktails, dating from the about the 1870s to the present. Materials include advertising and promotional items; pamphlets with recipes and suggestions for entertaining (party games, themes, and more); and postcards. The focus of the collection is cocktails, but some materials also relate to wine and beer in their own right, as well as ingredients in mixed drinks.","Tolu Rock and Rye appears to have a short history of distribution between 1880 and 1881 (possibly a little later) as a patent medicine. ","Classification of the drink as a medicine in the late 19th and early 20th centuries made it easy for suppliers to avoid unwanted attention from the temperance movement and to avoid the taxes placed on alcohol at the time. As a medicine, rock and rye might be drunk straight, or mixed with hot tea. Recipes ranged from a basic mix of whisky and rock candy to more complex blends with citrus and herbs. Tolu Rock and Rye likely also contained tolu itself, a fragrant tree resin. Following Prohibition, Rock \u0026 Rye continued to appear as a cocktail in bars and saloons.","This item suggests Tolu Rock and Rye was distributed by Donaldson Brothers, New York (likely among others). Contemporary newspapers and advertisements indicate this particular brand of \"Tolu Rock and Rye\" was a secondary company of Lawrence and Martin Company of Chicago. Rock and rye concoctions containing tolu were produced by several companies. ","This poster sized advertisement was issued by an Oregon newspaper in May 1888, touting \"Lawrence, Ostrom \u0026 Company's ten years old famous \"Belle of Bourbon\" for medicinal and family use\" to cure a range of ailments from malaria, typhoid fever, dyspepsia, and more. The \"Belle of Bourbon\" was a Kentucky sour mash whisky (no longer in existence today). This item features a large woodcut of a bell with ad text as well as testimontials and additional information from the producer/distillery. ","Many patent medicines at the time claimed to cure all manner of illnesses and problems, and while most were alcohol-based, they often contained other ingredients. The \"Belle of Bourbon\" is strictly a bourbon, which makes this advertisement a little unique, treating a straight spirit as a \"medicine.\" \n ","This broadside from 1863 depicts the evils of drinking alcohol through an extended allegory of the \"Black Valley Railroad\" and its many stops. It appears to have been reproduced by different groups from the original print by the Massachusetts Temperance Alliance (as per SI: https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_557196). This version is hand-colored, contains additional text about the \"stops\" and costs of alcohol consumption, and was issued by the National Temperance Society in New York.","Folder includes bartender guides, cocktail and punch recipes, pamphlets with party games and themes, and a \"history\" of the cocktail.","Includes a handwritten \"Old Fashioneds\" recipes on the inside cover.","Folder includes a guide for vintage Italian wine, as well as recipes for cooking with wine.","This item consists of a spool with cocktail recipes inside of a metal casing. The casing includes a list of recipes, the directions for which can be seen through a window at the. A wheel allows one to cycle through the recipes.","This wall-hanging advertisement for the Fleischmann Distilling Corporation is covered in useful kitchen reference tools: basic metric units, U.S./Metric equivalents, cooking measurements, clothing and show sizes converstions, a rules with inches and centimeters, temperature conversion, and \"recommended metric sizes for distilled spirits.\" It is not dated, but is likely from the mid-20th century.","This item is a steel cocktail serving tray with with recipes for 22 cocktails created by French ocean liner barmen. It likely dates from 1931 and measures 12x17 inches.","Eight cocktail napkins with printed illustrations, in the manner of Jazz Age cartoonist, John Held, Jr. Printed in red, blue, yellow, green, and pink, comic scenes are drawn in a mock-archaic style: carousers sing and drink; a man rides a velocipede, a cop drinks a beer, a drunk man leans on a wooden cigar statue.","This item consists of a metal and plastic casing with cocktail recipes on cards inside. Using the selector to pick a card number, the release bar pops open the lid to reveal the recipes on the card. The selector also includes an index tab/card and the original pencil included so the owner could make notes on recipes.","Produced by the House of Gadgets, Inc., probably c. 1934, this post-Prohibition game includes an oilcloth \"board\" and a Bakelite and metal spinner. Panels on the board were labeled with different cocktails on which players could place bets. The spinner would produce a square number and odds for paying out the bet. ","A previous version of the game was issued as early as the 1920s by the Imperial Brass Manufacutring Co. House of Gadgets, Inc. made the spinners for the 1920s version, as well as for this later one. In 1934, \"On Me\" was trademarked as the new name, which suggests the date for this particular item.","This item consists of a tabletop miniature bar, decorated with small bottle-topped cocktail picks and a tiny book of recipes.","Four handwritten recipes for liquor, most likely used during Prohibition. Recipes for:","SWEDISH RAISIN JACK: Brown Sugar, Rye or Cornmeal, Seedless Raisins, Yeast, etc. The recipe says it was copied from the Swedish Monthly Paper - TEKNISK TIDSKIRIFT, Feb. 1923. REAL OLD GORDON GIN, with a recipe for a Gin Ricky at the end. Two recipes are written on Hotel stationary from the MANSION HOUSE, Reading PA. The first of these recipes is for a peach liquor, the other is for FRED'S MASH MIXTURE, using Rye and Corn.","Spanish language receipt for the purchase of 125 Bacardi bottle lids.","Copyright for individual items may vary.
