Join us at Ft. Hamilton Distillery for a presentation on the history and tasting of three different rye whiskey based cocktails specifically chosen for their connections to New York City history.

What is the history of rye whiskey and why is it a must have for historically inspired cocktails? Why is rye having a revival? Why is an Old Fashioned “old-fashioned”? What does Manhattan have to do with the history of one of the most famous families from the Gilded Age? How did cocktails change during Prohibition? We’ll cover all these subjects and more all while sipping on expertly prepared cocktails.

Class includes:

• Presentation on the history of three different rye whiskey cocktails

• Your choice of two full size rye cocktails inspired by the presentation. You will be able to choose from an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, and Blinker cocktail.

• Charcuterie board

• An comparative tasting of homemade grenadine vs store bought

• 15% coupon for a future Fort Hamilton Distillery Tour

• A discount off any Ft. Hamilton products purchased after class
