What's more American than baseball, apple pie, and...the cocktail? These tasty libations are as distinctive as their places of origin, from the barrooms of Bourbon Street to the Cock 'n' Bull Tavern on the Sunset Strip.
Philip Greene, a founding member of the Museum of the American Cocktail, and three other cocktail historians—each representing a distinct region of the U.S.—recount stories about the creation of iconic American cocktails.
Sample the Manhattan, Rickey, Sazerac, Hurricane, Deshler, Southside, Mai-Tai, and Moscow Mule cocktails while learning about the people and places that made them famous.
All drinks are included with admission. Beer and wine will not be available. Light refreshments will be served.
