Speakeasy Sue
Our favorite lady here at King Wren, "Sue" is a sage well of wisdom plucked from the early-mid twentieth century. Featured in anything from framed, laser-engraved wood to slate coasters, her advice comes in just as many shapes and sizes. Though hands off, gents, she's copyrighted.
Bathtub Gin Sue
During the Prohibition alcohol was still sold illegally, with designated establishments going the extra mile to conceal their stashes from the authorities.
However, not all alcohol was good alcohol. This class of poor product, which was quite dangerous to ingest, was christened "bathtub gin". Needless to say it's wise to follow Sue's advice.
Patriotic Sue
Bourbon is an American-made beverage, and all true bourbon is brewed right here in the USA. Sue advises to embrace this and commit an act of patriotism by drinking a classic first made in the mid to late 1800s right here at home.
Garter Flask Sue
Properly termed a "hip flask", this method of smuggling a personal stash of liquor began to appear in the 18th century, where British women would smuggle their alcohol onto ships in a small flask usually concealed in their clothing. During the Prohibition, these flasks were popular among women, who used these discreet containers to take their choice beverage with them wherever they went.
