The Best Cocktail Party In Town
- Texture
- It’s the 202nd birthday of the cocktail this coming Wednesday (the 13th) and YOU are invited to the early party. On Friday the 9th and Saturday the 10th of May, three of the best cocktail-making institutions in New Zealand are pulling out all the stops to celebrate this very special occasion. The Matterhorn, Motel bar, and the Hawthorn Lounge will be combining their super-powers to deliver a taste of class to all Wellington cocktail lovers. Each bar will delve into a sacred tome on the craft of the cocktail, and strive to recreate their classic recipes for your tasting enjoyment. The Matterhorn will be working from The fine art of mixing drinks (By David Embury, 1948), Motel from The bar-tenders guide (Jerry Thomas, 1887) and the Hawthorn folks will be utilising selected drinks from The Savoy cocktail book (Harry Craddock, 1930). There will also be an aim to enlighten one and all on the glorious (and at times infamous) history of cocktails. This is shaping up as two stupendous evenings of entertainment, indulgence and (Fun) education. So round up you homies and homettes for cocktails at one or all three of Welly’s cocktail-forging icons. You can practice your James Bond or Sarah Jessica Parker for this, so don’t forget to dress to impress! -Darren
