Program Description

Event Details

There's no shortage of invention when it comes to cocktails menus today - but did you know that some of the most enduring recipes are over a century old? 

In this summery hands-on seminar, you'll learn about the history of cocktail development, as well as sample four enduring recipes that have stood the test of time: The Rum Mojito, The Smoky Paloma, The Pimms Cup Spritz and the Classic Negroni. 

Come and find out how certain drinks survived Prohibition, and why these signature concoctions have delighted the palates of generations of drinkers!

We'll be ably led by Larry Klem, Stewart’s Wine & Spirits store manager, who brings 25 years' industry experience and is always eager to share his passion and expertise with others, and Luigi Rapuano, a certified wine & spirit professional with over 15 years of craft cocktail experience, who is now Partner & Co-Owner of Connecticut Cocktail Car, a VW bus converted into a mobile bar for all kinds of private events statewide.
