Martini Parade, Manson's Chicago 1945 Sizes:A3 (297x420mm) Archival Print (Unframed) Via Nazionale was the firstProbably the most iconic cocktail in the world, the martini is celebrated in this witty image from Manson's restaurant in Chicago in 1945. Manson's billed itself as Your Downtown Dining Room. They also had an intriguingly named Aviary Cocktail Lounge. A humorous take on street parades popular in America during the summer months, the martini is awarded First Prize in the Cocktail Parade and is carried atop a flower strewn vehicle like a beauty queen.
