Join Derek Brown and Phil Greene (a co-founder of The Museum of the American Cocktail) for this introductory discussion of the classic drinks of the great old hotel bars, those palaces of hospitality. Along with delicious appetizers, sample and learn the histories of such classics as the Vieux Carre Cocktail (Hotel Monteleone, New Orleans), the Rob Roy (Waldorf-Astoria, New York), the Singapore Sling (Raffles Hotel, Singapore), the Bloody Mary (St. Regis Hotel, New York), and the Side Car (The Ritz, Paris). Join mixologist Chantal Tseng of the Tabard Inn for a demonstration of the Tabard Cocktail made in honor of the event and listen to her share stories of the District's oldest continuously-operated inn.
