Over a five-course dinner and cocktail pairing we will explore and journey into the rich history of spirits, from the origin as a health tonic, through the boom bar and lounge culture, and into the future of molecular mixology. Each drink is a unique creation and exemplifies the unique and diverse flavors of a modern cocktail. Menu for the evening: 1.Fenugreek Beemster & Chicken Paté Beginnings Cocktail: With the first cocktail we go back in time to examine the beginnings of spirits and distillation and explore the rich history of bitter and herbal aperitifs. 2.Living Garden Salad w/ dried pear and Gorgonzola Fresh Pear-spective: With the second cocktail we step away from the heaviness and bitters of traditional liqueurs and into the bright, vibrant realms of fruit liquors and refreshing gin. 3. Saffron Mediterranean couscous w/ chickpeas, basil, golden raisins and flowers Mediterranean Muse: With the third cocktail we explore unconventional inspiration from culinary roots, using earthy spices and creating fully unique flavors. 4. Long dry aged ribeye romesco with tortelloni Smokey Sensations: With the fourth cocktail we delve into the rich flavors of whiskey and smoke, taking traditional roots from the old fashioned, easily the most iconic cocktail, and adding a modern gourmet spin and infusing with wood smoke for a bold scent. 5. Banana Mousse Cannoli A Flight into the Future: With the last cocktail we explore a futuristic spin through the science of molecular gastronomy, reforming a familiar drink into a foam and liqueur caviar and breaking the mold of traditional cocktails.
