Description

Join Nathan Foster in an exploration of famous authors and their favorite drinks. History is replete with links between alcoholic beverages and literature - Persian wine poets, Nordic sagas told in mead halls, Greek theatre dedicated to Dionysus - the links run deep. It was perhaps inevitable, then, that with the proliferation of the cocktail in the early nineteenth century, some of the most cherished authors would come to be associated with these mixed libations. Often, in fact, they were not just associated with cocktails in general, but with a specific classic drink. In this class cocktail enthusiast Nathan Foster will explore these associations between famous authors and their favorite cocktails. Expect to learn how to make these delicious drinks, and sample them while learning about their significance to each author. Learn about the Gin Rickey F. Scott Fitzgerald may have sipped while he toasted “Here’s to alcohol, the rose colored glasses of life!”
