Vintage cocktails + a mid-century home bar collection

1950s atomic shot glasses set

It has been a while since I've listed anything in the homewares section of the shop but I just couldn't resist adding these super sweet mid-century drinkware sets... Bought together, they make a pretty cool instant home bar collection!

1950s gold grapevine tumblers

 I love the gold frosted grapevine tumblers and quirky atomic shot glasses... but the star of the show has to be the cocktail recipe coasters!

Mid-century cocktail recipe coasters

 As always, you can click on the captions to shop the collection on Etsy. And, in case you're itching to re-create some mid-century mixed drinks, I wanted to share the full recipes with you here on the blog:

Brandy Toddy

1 and a 1/2 oz brandy

1 teaspoonful granulated sugar

hot water to taste

nutmeg

Rob Roy (Scotch Manhattan)

2/3 Scotch

1/3 vermouth

3 dashes of angostura

Singapore Sling

1-oz dry gin

3/4" cherry brandy

1/2" dash lemon juice

3 dashes of angostura

teaspoonful of granulated sugar

White Lady

2/3 dry gin

1/3 cointreau

lemon juice

Tom Collins

dry gin

juice of half a lemon

soda water and ice

powdered sugar

Dry Martini

2/3 dry gin

1/3 dry vermouth

twist of lemon peel

I'm definitely intrigued by the Rob Roy! Manhattans have to be my all-time favourite mid-century cocktail... I like mine served with a cherry and plenty of orange peel. If you give any of these mixes a try, be sure to let me know in the comments below!
