"The Art of the Rum Cocktail"

Learn to craft six classic quaffs at this hands-on demonstration with barkeeps Mike Mikos (Sycamore) and Wil Petre (The Farm on Adderly). The duo will demo three drinks, then you and a buddy will build another three yourself. Try your hand at a Hemingway daiquiri (rum, maraschino liqueur, citrus and simple syrup)—according to lore, it was the preferred tipple of the diabetic author, who took it without sugar. The session ends with a shared bowl of flaming punch; along with a buzz, you'll take home a book containing all six recipes, plus instructions on making bitters and specialty syrups.
