Funny you should ask, as the suffragists were a very "dry" group who also helped put through the rather disastrous 18th Amendment.

How about French 75s? It's from the 1920s and is full of gin, lemon juice and chamapgne. Here is a good recipe:

I like mine served in a martini glass but I have seen them in collins glasses (as suggested in this recipe) and champagne flutes.

1/2 oz vodka
1/2 oz rum
1/2 oz 1800® Tequila
1/2 oz gin
1/2 oz Blue Curacao liqueur
2 oz sweet and sour mix
2 oz 7-Up® soda

make it a double.

A Redheaded Slut

How about a top shelf Margarita using some pricey tequila, Grand Marnier and a fe nice limes?

The Mint Julep is about as stiff a drink as you can have with out doing shots, is delightful when hot and ecame particularly popular right around that time (I've read).

Of course, as the suffragists were very often the same folks who pushed hard for prohibition some "bathtub" gin martinis may be in order. Crappy gin is a nightmare, of course, so feel free to use hendricks, etc. If you do use a cheap gin you can try soaking it in some fruit first...

Go with a classic; a Bloody Mary

A nice vodka tonic. Gotta watch those calories ladies. Make sure you make your man a drink first, he'll take an old fashioned, extra cherries.

Shirley Temple or a Virgin Mary. Most of the suffragists were Temperance.
