From rum punch and grog to all-day tavern sessions in Philadelphia, a new history explores how alcohol shaped the Founding Fathers and the American Revolution.
From rum punch and grog to all-day tavern sessions in Philadelphia, a new history explores how alcohol shaped the Founding Fathers and the American Revolution.
The 56 delegates of the Second Continental Congress who gathered in Philadelphia 250 years ago were virtual strangers. And treason can’t be easy on the nerves. Drinking helped. Cocked and Boozy: An Intoxicating History of the American Revolution , a rip-roaring account of the critical role booze played in America’s revolutionary history.
“They were able to find commonalities that they may not have realized otherwise. Strangers are getting together and tackling really heavy problems, like a growing imperial crisis. Drinking is one way to turn strangers into colleagues and eventually friends. ” Barbier knows her history — and booze.
The Boston-based historian with a Ph. D. in American history from Boston College is the author of two previous highly engaging books on the Revolution and runs a popular colonial tavern tour in Beantown. Her research for— which publishes June 9 and is available for preorder — brought her to Philly, where she bent her elbow at the now-shuttered City Tavern, the delegates’ favorite fancy watering hole, and the, Philly’s only surviving colonial-era bar.
Poring through thousands of pages from the founders’ boozy account books, diaries, and letters, she also dug through 18th-century tavern records at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.
“The more that I sought out references to alcohol, or the influence of alcohol, the more I knew that there was a story to tell here that was often not told by other historians,” she said. The book dedicates an entire chapter to the founders’ well-oiled spring and summer in Philly in 1776, when the huzzahs never seemed to stop. It also details an unforgettably rollicking trip Paul Revere took to the City of Brotherly Love in 1774.
But it’s not all rum, punch, and porter. Barbier powerfully shows how sitting around a table with a tankard in their hands steadied the founders on their rocky path toward independence.
“John Adams said, ‘We must not blush to confess that molasses was an essential ingredient to American independence,” she says. In this interview she discussed the hardcore drinking habits of colonial Americans, which Founding Father got his drink on the most, and recipes and recommendations for a variety of 18th-century cocktails fit for Memorial Day bashes and barbecues. The delegates drinking in Philadelphia is in line with what colonists drank broadly in British North America.
Women drank a variety of alcoholic beverages and children even consumed small beer. The amount they drank, while imprecise, is nearly double what we drink today. This isn’t because water was unsafe. That’s a common myth.
The water was fine. They were just accustomed to drinking beer or cider or wine or rum. We have accounts of the earliest colonizers saying that the water is safe. In fact, one guy says, “The water is safe until we can make beer.
”They may be inclined to have a small beer, a low-alcoholic beer with breakfast. The midday meal was when they started drinking. The congressional delegates would adjourn at 3 p.m. or 4 p.m. every day, and then we have delegates saying, “We just drink and eat. ”People threw parties for them.
One delegate said that he drank all the time because he doesn’t want to turn down invitations. These 50-something delegates coming into Philadelphia was a big deal for the city, and the city did a really good job of entertaining them. Many of the delegates met there every day. The likelihood of you bumping into someone who impacted the founding of our nation in City Tavern was very high.
But I’d also want to visit a grog shop by the waterfront just for vibes. Thomas Jefferson would rival almost anyone else’s drinking habits. He particularly loved wine. He likes to experience the world.
We just hear so much from him about his passion for wine and the various drinks he’s trying in Philadelphia. Franklin would be so fun to drink with because he’s so witty. The conversation would flow easily. He composed drinking songs in his lifetime.
‘Oil’d. ’ ‘Pigeon Ey’d. ’ ‘Soaked, in his cups. ’It’s sort of a boozy milkshake.
You would flavor whipped cream typically with lemon. And then put that on top of cider or sherry, and you would often eat it with a spoon. Martha Washington’s recipe book had two recipes for syllabubs. Rum punch was really one of the most common drinks that you would find in the 18th century.
I would make sure to bring a straw because people would drink directly from the rim of the punch bowl and pass it around. A Stone Fence will mess you up. It’s cider and rum. It’s easy today to imagine that you’ve run into a stone fence if you’ve had too many of them.
Thomas Jefferson has a recipe to make brandied peaches. It’s written in French. He basically says, “When you add the brandy, step back or you’ll ignite. ”Oh, I love it.
Now is the time to make a cherry bounce. Cherries are in season. You put them in a jar with some sugar and whiskey and a vanilla bean, and you let it sit for five months. Come the holidays, it’s this deep burgundy color.
I’ve started tripling my recipes every year and bring it to holiday parties. The most refreshing is grog. Grog is rum, sugar, lime juice, and ice shaken until it’s extremely cold.1 oz lemon juice Just after your tea is done steeping, stir in the sugar to help it easily dissolve. Once cool, add the rum and lemon juice and stir.
Pour over lots of ice — crushed ice is particularly lovely with punch. Top with grated nutmeg . I am a Culture and Identity reporter who writes about Philadelphia history, changing Philadelphia, South Philly life, the places where old Philadelphia meets new — and about the colorful characters that define our city. I write often about Philadelphia’s preparations for the 250th anniversary of America in 2026, known as the Semiquincentennial.
