Welcome to Prohibition Week at Porfirio’s, an exciting cocktail festival in collaboration with Brown Forman that will take you back to the Prohibition era! From April 5th to 27th, we invite you to enjoy a unique experience that pays homage to the iconic cocktails of the 1920s. During this special event, you’ll immerse yourself in the clandestine history of speakeasies while enjoying three incredible creations: the Boulevardier, the Old Fashioned, and the Mint Julep.
The History of the Boulevardier: A Classic with a Chocolate Twist
One of the highlights of our Prohibition Week is the Boulevardier, a variant of the classic Negroni that has gained popularity in recent years. With ingredients like Woodford Reserve, Campari cacao, Vermouth Marni Rosso, and Angostura cocoa bitters, this cocktail offers a unique combination of flavors that captivate the senses. The Boulevardier has its roots in 1920s France and was created by the writer and American expatriate Harry McElhone. This exclusive version with cocoa touches will transport you to the days of Prohibition with a delightfully indulgent twist.
The Fascinating World of the Old Fashioned: A Classic that Stands the Test of Time
Another iconic cocktail you can enjoy is the Old Fashioned, a true classic that has stood the test of time. With a blend of Woodford Reserve, pineapple syrup, and aromatic Angostura, this drink is an ode to simplicity and elegance. Its origin dates back to the 1880s when bartenders at the Pendennis Club in Louisville, Kentucky began mixing whiskey, sugar, water, and bitters. Over the years, the Old Fashioned has evolved and adapted, but it has always maintained its status as an icon of classic cocktails. At Porfirio’s, we serve it with a touch of pineapple syrup to add a tropical twist that makes it even more irresistible.
Mint Julep: Refreshment and Tradition in Every Sip
For those seeking a refreshing and flavorful experience, the Mint Julep is the perfect choice. With Woodford Reserve, mango shrub, and aromatic Angostura, this cocktail is a true delight for the palate. Originating from the southern United States, the Mint Julep has become a symbolic drink of spring and summer. Traditionally associated with the Kentucky Derby, it is enjoyed worldwide for its freshness and simplicity. We prepare it with premium ingredients and a hint of mango for a truly delicious experience.
