Prohibition was officially repealed on December 5, 1933. I jiggered up the Babbitt Cocktail a few years ago to mark the occasion:
Babbitt Cocktail
1 1/2 oz. Death’s Door gin
3/4 oz. Old Overholt rye whiskey
3/4 oz. Carpano Antica vermouth
3/4 oz. orange juice
dash Angostura bitters
Stir with ice until very cold, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with orange peel.
