Retro Cocktails Class at Cornman Farms

You can see it now: New York, Madison Avenue, the 1960’s. When a man was a guy, a woman was a doll, and everyone knew how to make a decent Manhattan. Delicious cocktails were a mainstay of mid-century entertaining, as seen on the AMC series, Mad Men. On Monday, August 11, 7pm, we’re offering a class that will focus on applying today’s standards for quality in cocktails to classics like the Old Fashioned, Tom Collins and Manhattan. Along the way, you’ll learn about garnishing and glassware to make your drink look as good as it tastes. There will be appetizers based on the creations of the 50’s and 60’s, but with a bit of farm-fresh polish. This is a hands-on class, with lots of tasting opportunities!
Prizes will be awarded to everyone who comes dressed in period attire!
