Summary

A cocktail-hour history event exploring 18th-century bitters and booze, with period-style drinks and stories about the era's mixology.

Description

Join us and get a *bitter* understanding of bitters, flavorful herby extracts made by steeping plants in liquor. With ancient roots as medicine, bitters pivoted in the 18th century to become the cocktail mix-in we know them as today. Taste the proof yourself with Jenever and Bitters and A Fine Bodied Punch (with curacao being the bitter highlighted).

If you've never experienced this event before, think of it as cocktail hour with a story. Your mixologist will set the table with libations mixed up from an 18th century recipe while she sets the scene with tales of the past and historical facts tied to the spirits you're about to imbibe. Some of the drinks might be ones you recognize today, while others are true mysteries from the past that may shock or delight you! If you're into history, mixology, or just up for a fun time in a charming scene, this is the place for you. Cheers!
