Join Tad Carducci & Steve Olson as they explore the wonderful, yet underestimated, or even misunderstood, world of Amari.  Recently returning to popularity, these unique and traditional elixirs actually date back many years, with roots in medicine, religion and even the culinary arts.  We will taste and learn about some cool drinking rituals, explore their versatility in cocktails, and learn about their remarkable appeal for Après too.

The Gin Renaissance

[/one_half]

About a decade ago, there was only about a dozen or so gins on the market.  Today?  There are well over a hundred.  The resurgence of gin has opened up a new world of cocktails.   Whether you are gin lover or gin hater (come and be converted!), this seminar will showcase four distinct brands and serve them up in signature cocktails.  Led by Steve Olson with Charlotte Voisey, Brooke Arthur, and Natalie Bovis.
