Liquor & Lore: Colonial Christmas
Local cocktail historian Beth Vandergrift leads a holiday cocktail class on Thursday, December 3, at 6:30 p.m. at the War Memorial in Grosse Pointe Farms. You'll make drinks from early America, including some founding father favorites. Tickets are $90, 21+ only.
Beth Vandergrift of Liquor & Lore guides you through three distinct cocktails in the War Memorial's historic Reception Room. For each one she demonstrates the technique, you craft your own, and then everyone sips together while she shares the stories behind the spirit and the season.
Each cocktail is paired with a light bite from the War Memorial's culinary team. You go home with all the recipes so you can recreate the drinks yourself.
Drinks may contain dairy, so leave a note with your reservation if you need a dairy-free option. All ticket purchasers must be 21 or older, and menu substitutions can't be made. The class runs from 6:30 to 9 p.m.
