Sloshed School, an evening of drinks and discussion

DateNovember 14, 2011 PART OF: AND REFERRING TO: ,

I will be mixing cocktails and talking booze history at the Rendezvous next Tuesday, November 22 from 7:30 onward. Please join, for you MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING.

All your classic cocktails belong to us

The focus will be vermouth cocktails - of which the Martini and the Manhattan are two examples. Vermouth cocktails came of age in the 1880s and 90s. Cocktail drinkers and bartenders were looking for a way to soften the base spirit - your gins and whiskeys - without covering up the essential character like a punch or citrus based cocktail would.

OK BUT SO I will be talking about vermouth and mixing two early examples of the style: the Martinez (a sibling to the Martini) and the Saratoga (related to the Manhattan). These are wonderful drinks which YOU WILL ENJOY.

Be smart! Remind yourself to attend by adding this event to your calendar.
