Any websites dedicated to cocktails by chronology? I've been reading Imbibe, which is a fantastic resource for pre-prohibition era drinks and am wondering where to expand from there.

The rest of the book is quite enjoyable and useful, too, though the recipes aren't always perfect. Fri Sep 05 14:52:06 -0700 2008 4008410 10143 MC Slim JB
