Swank Cocktail Guide: 80 Cocktails in 80 Days
We found our Swank Cocktail Guide, which looks to be from the 1950s, at a Cape Cod flea market. Eighty cocktails are displayed on the front of the gadget in alphabetical order. The red wheel is used to scroll through the paper roll to find the desired cocktail’s recipe.
We set off on a quest to sample all 80 cocktails listed, per the Swank recipes, in 80 days.

Cocktail Reviews
We each rate the cocktail based on our personal preference from 1 to 5 🍸. Unlike most online cocktail reviews, we don’t love every cocktail. Again, it’s our preferences and yours may vary. Our scale can be interpreted as:
🍸 One sip. Ugh. Pour it out.
🍸🍸 If handed this cocktail at a party, it would casually disappear after a few sips. Check behind the plant.
🍸🍸🍸 If handed this cocktail at a party, it would be consumed, but never ordered in a bar.
🍸🍸🍸🍸 Yes, please.
🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸 Can I have another?
