Today we at BTR are celebrating a very special day in history — the official Repeal of Prohibition. In 1933, America finally got its booze back. And we’ve been gettin’ our swerve on ever since. To celebrate, BTR partnered up with Grace bar and restaurant in New York City to create three cocktails inspired by this anniversary. We know Al Capone and Bugs Moran would even rejoice the repeal with these tasty tipplings.
