Gin Fizz Soirée
SUNDAY, AUGUST 27, 12:00PM- 2:00PM. Join us for an afternoon soiree of gin fizzes, frozen gin & tonics, DIY succulent flower rings and mini desserts! The Ramos Gin Fizz is considered the adult version of the Egg Cream Soda ... its light, pillowy texture coupled with the nuances of the gin, make for an elegant, refreshing cocktail that is delicious day or night. Its origins hail from New Orleans, created in the late 1800's at the Imperial Cabinet Saloon where Henry Ramos was known for shaking the living daylights out of this drink and even passing it around the bar or customers to take their turn at a shake.
We'll cover some of the basic tenants of making this cocktail and some tip and trips to "elevate" this drink to new heights!
At the heart of our event is Hendricks gin where we'll sip on Fizze made with their limited edition - Flora Adora with nuances and aromatics of rose, violet and jasmine making this a flower power drink!
Tickets are $70.
