From April 4 to 27, Grupo Anderson’s dives into one of the most fascinating eras in cocktail history: the Prohibition Era. A time when, despite the alcohol ban, ingenious, sophisticated, and bold cocktails were born. This month, we pay homage to that underground creativity with a special edition of Prohibition Drinks, available at our signature brands: Harry’s, Porfirio’s, BAK’, Nicoletta, Ilios, and Fred’s.
An Era of Style and Mystery
During the 1920s in the United States, the prohibition of alcohol gave rise to the legendary speakeasies—secret bars where the art of cocktail mixing was elevated. This era not only marked a cultural shift but also left behind a legacy of iconic recipes still celebrated today. At Grupo Anderson’s, we bring that essence to life through three cocktails that capture the best of the time: history, flavor, and elegance.
Three Timeless Cocktails, Available at Our Finest Brands
Throughout the month, you’ll be able to discover these signature drinks in the most exclusive settings across our restaurants. Each one tells a story and offers a unique flavor profile that will take your senses on a journey through time.
The Blinker

Origin: First mentioned in The Official Mixer’s Manual (1934), this classic cocktail represents the creativity of Prohibition-era mixology. Fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced, it’s ideal for those who enjoy citrus notes with a fruity twist.
The Algonquin
Ingredients: Woodford Reserve, dry vermouth, pineapple juice, vanilla syrup.
Inspiration: Named after the Algonquin Hotel in New York, where intellectuals and artists gathered for legendary discussions. This cocktail gracefully blends sweet and dry flavors, offering a tropical and sophisticated profile.
