Prohibition Drinks at Nicoletta: A Tribute to the Prohibition Era
From April 4 to 27, Nicoletta brings the intriguing and sophisticated spirit of the 1920s back to life with Prohibition Drinks—a cocktail campaign inspired by the iconic era of Prohibition in the United States. This exclusive experience features a curated selection of cocktails crafted with 45 ml of Woodford Reserve, a bold and complex bourbon from the renowned Brown-Forman distillery.
With this limited edition, Nicoletta not only pays homage to a defining moment in history, but also reaffirms its place as a trendsetter in unique experiences in Cancún and Playa del Carmen.
Cocktails with History and Character
During Prohibition, creativity became a necessity. Bartenders of the time found ingenious ways to craft memorable drinks despite the restrictions. Today, Nicoletta honors that legacy with three cocktails that strike the perfect balance between history, elegance, and modern flair.
The Blinker: History in a Glass
Ingredients: 45 ml Woodford Reserve, grapefruit juice, raspberry syrup
First mentioned in The Official Mixer’s Manual in 1934, this cocktail captures the essence of the era’s mixology. Its bold bourbon notes combined with refreshing citrus create a timeless drink with a bold yet balanced profile—perfect for those who appreciate classic sophistication.
The Algonquin: A Toast to Bohemian Intellect
Ingredients: 45 ml Woodford Reserve, dry vermouth, pineapple juice, vanilla syrup
Inspired by the legendary Algonquin Hotel in New York City, this cocktail embodies the spirit of literary salons and vibrant conversations of the time. With a refined and slightly sweet flavor profile, it evokes laughter, creativity, and whispered poetry between sips.
Gold Rush: The Speakeasy Reinvented
Ingredients: 45 ml Woodford Reserve, fresh lemon juice, chamomile honey
Though a more recent creation, the Gold Rush originated at New York’s famed Milk & Honey bar. Its comforting, clean flavor blends tradition with modernity—making it the perfect grand finale to this historical experience.
Nicoletta: Where the Art of Drinking Meets History
For this campaign, Nicoletta transforms its signature ambiance to transport guests to an era where the forbidden became irresistible. From lighting to music curation, every detail is designed to make each cocktail not just something you taste—but something you live.
