Title

Fictional Cocktails II (Contemporary Fiction & Urban Fantasy)

Description

From shaken martinis to Victory-Gin; from the Flaming Moe to the SlimJim Fiz; since the invention of the cocktail, writers of contemporary fiction have been eager to concoct interesting, exotic or downright bizarre cocktails for their characters to imbibe. Join me for Fictional Cocktails II.

In this program we will watch clips, read excerpts and, of course, learn to mix, sample & review several (formerly) fictional drinks from the modern fiction we love most!

This is an audience participation event & will only reach full seating if 5 people agree to join my intrepid crew of mixers & servers!

Must be 21 years of age or older.
