St. Paddy’s Eye Opener
SECRETS OF THE SALOON Join us for an intensive look at pre-Prohibition drinks and bartending techniques that will prepare graduates to open their own nickel-beer, two-cocktails-for-a-quarter, free-lunch joints! The first session will cover the earliest saloon drinks, including the Sherry Cobbler and various Brandy Cock-Tails, Juleps and Punches (luckily they'll be made with genuine Rémy Martin cognac instead of the rotgut brandy that was often encountered in old saloons!). The second session will focus on the evolution of the Gin Cock-Tail into the Martini, the Whiskey Cock-Tail into the Manhattan, and the Brandy Cock-Tail into the Sazerac, along with other Gilded Age developments in mixology. Delicious appetizers provided by Cafe Adelaide. Thursday, March 17, 2005 -10:30 am to Noon Edited by Marilyn Miller |
