A Prohibition-style cocktail experience in Cancun — only at Fred’s
From April 4th to 27th, Fred’s Restaurant Cancun brings back the rebellious elegance of the Roaring Twenties with a one-of-a-kind experience: Prohibition Drinks, a seasonal cocktail event inspired by the legendary Prohibition Era in the United States.
During those years, hidden bars known as speakeasies became creative playgrounds for bartenders, who turned limited access into bold innovation. Now, Fred’s reimagines that spirit with a modern, elevated twist — perfect for cocktail lovers, history buffs, and anyone craving something new by the sea.
A toast to history: the story behind every sip
The Prohibition Era (1920–1933) banned the production, sale, and distribution of alcoholic beverages in the U.S. But far from ending the party, this restriction gave rise to a new golden age of creativity behind the bar. Hidden lounges and underground bars flourished, and bartenders began crafting cocktails that were both innovative and refined.
At Fred’s, we honor that legacy with three exclusive cocktails, made with the iconic Woodford Reserve bourbon from Brown Forman, blending tradition, storytelling, and modern elegance in every glass.

1. The Blinker
Woodford Reserve, grapefruit juice, raspberry syrup
Originally published in The Official Mixer’s Manual (1934), The Blinker is a bold yet refreshing blend of citrus and subtle raspberry sweetness. A perfect choice for those who appreciate cocktails with elegance and edge.
2. The Algonquin
Woodford Reserve, dry vermouth, pineapple juice, vanilla syrup
Inspired by New York’s historic Algonquin Hotel and its literary gatherings of the 1920s, this cocktail is rich, layered, and refined — a tribute to the intellect and flair of a bygone era.
3. Gold Rush
Woodford Reserve, fresh lemon juice, chamomile honey
A modern creation from the iconic NYC speakeasy Milk & Honey, the Gold Rush bridges past and present with a perfectly balanced citrus-honey profile that’s smooth and timeless.
