👏 LaFarge’s architectural forms feel equally at home in heritage-inspired branding, editorial design, and contemporary display typography.

Finally got to try @evangaylion.bsky.social’s “Cuffing Season,” feat. Penelope Four Grain Bourbon, apple liqueur, @cohassetpunch.com, and salted plum cordial. It is so good that I only want to drink this from now on.

Today would be Carl Ladner’s 149th Birthday, without whom there would likely be no Cohasset Punch. Though he didn’t create it, he successfully brought the brand back after Prohibition and installed the famous neon “Home of Cohasset Punch” sign on Madison St. which was a local landmark for decades.

Schlitz has been my go-to beer since 2008. Folks who knew me during my four years in NYC heard way too much about my quest to find the few bars there that carried it.

This weekend’s Cubs / White Sox matchup inspires the question: is Chicago’s classic Cohasset Punch a North Side or a South Side drink? You’ll be relieved (or annoyed) to find out that it’s technically neither!

Today is a bit of a solemn anniversary in Cohasset Punch world — #OnThisDay exactly 40 years ago, the old Cohasset Punch tavern in the Chicago loop closed. Cohasset Punch could still be found in liquor stores for a few more years (before our revival in 2024), but it was definitely the end of an era.

Collage of items related to the Cohasset Punch tavern's 1986 closure, clockwise from top: Chicago Sun-Times newspaper headline from March 17, 1986, "Prohibition-era Cohasset Punch to fall for W. Madison skyscraper"; 1980s bottle of Cohasset Punch from near the end of production; "Home of Cohasset Punch" sign at 207 W. Madison c. 1980s; Chicago Tribune map showing the proposed site of the "Miglin-Beitler Skyneedle," which was to occupy the site of the Cohasset Punch bar; Cohasset Punch matchbook c. 1980s; Model of the proposed Miglin-Beitler Skyneedle

Severe weather predicted for Chicago tonight, so here’s our answer to the Hurricane cocktail, the “Lake Effect”! The rich cherry and stone fruit flavors of Cohasset Punch blend effortlessly with pineapple, orange, and lime for a drink that’s bright, juicy, and delicious.

If you order a “rail” drink at a bar, is this what you get? Back in the mid-1930s, Chicago’s famed Cohasset Punch could be had in the “Tip Top Tap” cars of the Hiawatha trains of the Milwaukee Road. Now that Cohasset Punch has returned, we’re waiting on that call from @amtrak.com...
