What are some 1930s-style Gatsby party drinks?

Cocktail Colin says:
If you're planning a 1930s style Gatsby party, you’ll want cocktails that not only evoke the opulence and glamour of the Roaring Twenties but also provide a refreshing and sophisticated experience for your guests. Here are a couple of excellent choices that align perfectly with the theme:
The Fitzgerald is an ideal choice to serve at your Gatsby-themed gathering. It commemorates Dale DeGroff’s influence on the modern cocktail scene while delivering an elegant and balanced experience. This drink offers a sophisticated blend of dry gin, fresh lemon juice, and touches of sugar syrup and Angostura bitters. Its appeal lies in its refreshing yet complex flavor, guaranteed to evoke a sense of old-world charm.
Ritz also fits wonderfully into the Gatsby aesthetic. Originating from the prestigious Ritz Hotel in Paris, this cocktail exudes luxury and elegance. A combination of Cointreau, cognac, and orange juice topped with champagne, this drink not only tastes exquisite but also presents an image of sophistication with its delicate bubbles. It’s perfect for capturing that upper-crust, glamorous vibe of the 1930s.
Last but not least, you might consider serving the French 75. Named after a French field gun, this cocktail was popular during the era and ties in those wartime influences with an air of elegance. Combining gin, lemon juice, and sugar syrup, the French 75 is topped with champagne to add a touch of effervescence, making it a fitting drink for any celebration. Its rich history and connection to Paris during World War I add depth and character to your 1930s-themed soirée.
Any of these cocktails will not only taste delightful but will also add a touch of authenticity and flair to your Gatsby party. Choose one or serve them all to transport your guests back to the dazzling age of jazz and lavish parties.
