This Saturday is Repeal Day, the day that prohibition ended, and perhaps it should be America’s favorite holiday. Can you imagine a world where you couldn’t have a gorgeous glass of wine with a nice meal or envision a sports bar without beer? December 5 is the day to celebrate. And at the Blacksmith we are having a special celebration with a pre-prohibition cocktail list with such delights as the whiskey daisy, the saratoga brace up, and santa cruz sour. Anyhow, you have a week to make plans for this special day where you don’t have to have an excuse to drink – to drink is the reason for the holiday.
