For Valentine’s Day we turn our attention to one of the global capitals of romance: Paris. Specifically, Harry’s New York Bar in Paris. Founded in 1911 and sold to Scottish-born celebrity bartender Harry MacElhone in 1923, Harry’s was THE place to imbibe in the City of Lights. Celebrities like Marlene Dietrich, F. Scott Fitzgerald, George Gershwin, Jack Dempsey, Coco Chanel, and perhaps most notably, Ernest Hemingway, all spent time enjoying a cocktail (or several) at this famous watering hole. Even James Bond visits Harry’s in Ian Fleming’s 1960 story, A View to a Kill. Join us this evening as we look back on the impact Harry MacElhone had on international cocktail culture with three of his own romance-inspired tipples: the Between the Sheets, the Monkey Gland, and the Vie Rose. We’ll discuss the not-so-secret society of the International Bar Flies that called Harry’s home, as well as other cocktail history and lore.

Guests will learn to make themselves, and then enjoy, all three cocktails, as well as snacks created by Cornman Farm’s talented chef. Guests will leave with the recipes and the know-how to recreate these cocktails at home.

Must be 21 or older to attend.
