Cocktails
Order these classic cocktails by the year each was first created. You place all 28 cards on one timeline, one at a time. Three wrong guesses ends the run.
Classic cocktails are the cards, and under each name is a short description of what goes into the drink and where it came from. You're ordering them by the year each was first created. One cocktail sits on the timeline at the start with its year showing. Slot each new card into the gap where it belongs. Choose well and the year appears; wrong, and the drink still lands in its true spot, but one of your three lives is gone.
The deck runs from the earliest American mixed drinks through Prohibition-era exiles, tiki bars and the vodka craze to the modern bar scene. Origins are often disputed and the card goes with one accepted date, so lean on the description: hotels, bars and wars mentioned there are strong era clues. Many of the classics were born in a short burst, so the early middle of the line is crowded.
Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
Here are 28 of the 28 cards you might be dealt. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
