Channel your inner bootlegger and live the life of the Great Gatsby at this new event inspired by 1920s Prohibition Era cocktails. Learn how to mix some of the most infamous legends and a few classics with a twist! Soak in a bit of history on each cocktail, with tales of Prohibition era life in NYC starting each cruise!

See "Gatsby" the film starring Leonardo DiCaprio (opening May 10 2013) then join us on one of these cruises to have your own 'Gatsby' inspried evening.

As we cruise down the Hudson, music of the Golden Age will accompany our journey into cocktail culture. Watch each drink being mixed and hear details of each local distiller as we sip our way into the 1920s aboard the vintage style Yacht Manhattan. Recipes for each cocktail and a tasting booklet will be given to each participant.

Enjoy a champagne cocktail at boarding followed by 4 wildly different cocktails including some of the following:

  • Classic Dry Manhattan with a modern spin
  • Gin-based cocktail inspired by one of the famous 1920s literary figures of the Round Table of the Algonquin Hotel.
  • Whiskey-based Swizzle made with an infused artisan syrup inspired by Bostonian politics
  • Vesper, comprised of Vodka, Gin & Lillet
  • Speakeasy Classic - a mixed drink inspired by the creations of infamous bartenders of the underground whiskey culture.
  • Join us for this fun, informative cruise into 1920s NY led by wine and award winning spirits specialist Wendy Crispell.
