I am happy to have been chosen to hold a cocktail class teaching how to make some remarkable cocktails from A Year of Cocktails along with some basics. What to shake, stir and build and how does the different techniques change the cocktail. For the class I picked four different cocktails and a bonus one starting with the Moonwalk, Joe Gilmore’s cocktail to celebrate the moon landing. The next three were Ada “Coley” Coleman’s Hanky Panky from the 1920s, The Sazerac by Antoine Peychaud from 1838, and finally Trader Vic’s Mai Tai from 1944. As a bonus I added the Whiskey Sour so that the participants would be able to practice a dry shake. It’s always great to be able to share some cocktail tips along with the cocktail history, which was essentially the purpose of A Year of Cocktails in the first place.
