Looking for some refreshing cocktail ideas for warm summer evenings? Join noted author and cocktail historian Philip Greene as he demonstrates how to make classics like the Tom Collins, Mojito, Southside, Daiquiri, and Jack Rose. He also discusses the histories and folklore of these drinks, and their cameo appearances in movies, literature, and popular culture.
Cocktail recipes are shared with participants in advance of the program for those who’d like to make their own drinks at home. There’s also an option to purchase a tasting kit that includes four samples of the cocktails that Greene demonstrates.
Greene is the author of To Have and Have Another: A Hemingway Cocktail Companion, The Manhattan: The Story of the First Modern Cocktail, and A Drinkable Feast: A Cocktail Companion to 1920s Paris.
