The Prohibition and post-Prohibition years were rum’s comeback era. After being eclipsed by whiskey, rum bounced back thanks to Prohibition and the liquors shortages of World War II. How did this happen? What were people drinking? How did rum then differ from rum today? And how did it evolve over those four decades? Wayne Curtis, author of “And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in 10 Cocktails,” will discuss rum’s 20th century revival, including the role of exotic drinks in bringing the most flavorful rums back to the public's attention.
