    I love cocktails, and I'm not a fan of the "473 Things That Only Left-Handed Puerto Rican Navy Vets With An Undergraduate Degree In Criminal Justice And A Minor In Zoology Will Understand" format...

    But I love this list! I grew up after the '70s so I don't remember these in context, but I've had each of these at one point or another. A Golden Cadillac is probably my favorite dessert drink.

    I was a little surprised that they mentioned drinks being cheaper in the '70s. Was that really the case (inflation aside, of course)? I kinda figured cocktails had always been pricey since they have to be made instead of just poured. I think it's interesting to see the new wave of cocktails making their way back into the mainstream. It's just too bad that a $12 drink is not uncommon.
