The drinks at Hidden Cave Cidery
How the venue describes itself: “Hidden Cave Cidery crafts hard cider from Wisconsin apples and other specialty ingredients. Our goal is to produce high quality and unique hard cider.” (from its own website, retrieved 9 October 2026)
Beyond what the venue publishes we have not verified a list, so what follows is the period rather than the bar: Corpse Reviver No. 2, White Lady, and Twentieth Century are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.

Prohibition in Wisconsin
Wisconsin came under national prohibition on 17 January 1920, when the Eighteenth Amendment took effect and the Volstead Act defined an intoxicating beverage as anything above one half of one per cent alcohol — a threshold strict enough to close breweries that had expected to survive.
