Thanks Matt!
From over at a Jigger of Blog, I see that there is a really cool event coming up in Washington, DC entitled, Happy Birthday, Mr. Daiquiri. The seminar is a production of the Museum of the American Cocktail, and features such mixological luminaries as Jeff Beachbum Berry, and Jon Arroyo (about whom I wrote recently). The event marks the 100th anniversary of the Gospel of Rum’s arrival on American shores, and details its origins, rise, and effects on cocktailia in general.
I imagine strawberry goo and blenders need not apply.
Of course, I only get to visit DC occasionally, so I won’t be able to attend this cool event, and now I’m sad.
So thanks, Matt….
