February 2009 - Obscure Cocktail Ingredients
We gathered at my house, and tasted through a series of cocktails using obscure cocktail ingredients. We focused on Creme de Violette, Old Tom Gin and Genever, and tasted and discussed the following drinks: Violet Fizz, Arsenic & Old Lace, Martinez, Improved Holland Cocktail, and Amsterdam Cocktail. All were interesting, and the Martinez was the favorite.
The food menu included a couple of things with unusual ingredients, and some regular snacks. The most popular food recipe was the Mango Pomegranate Guacamole from Epicurious.
March 2009 - All Things Alaska
Our event coincided with the start of the Iditarod, and our lovely hostess, Shelley Temple, is a frequent visitor to Alaska. So we enjoyed the Damn the Weather and the Alaska Cocktail, along with some smoked salmon and other delicious snacks.
