Last night, I stopped by one of my favorite restaurants for a night of mixology fun. Harding’s is bringing back its popular “First Tuesdays” monthly mixology class series, taught by their resident mixologist Derrick Turner. As a guest, you’ll get your very own fully stocked cocktail station for easy mixing. On the menu for the night’s festivities were Beer Infused cocktails:
The Right Flight
2oz Shake Chocolate Porter
1oz Bullet Bourbon
1/2oz Sweet Vermouth
Bar spoon of pure maple syrup
Rim the glass with brown sugar
Top with Angostura Bitters
Nana’s Flip
1/4 Charred Banana
1 1/2oz Widmen Brother’s Hefe
1/2oz Simple Syrup
1oz Rye Whiskey
3 Dashes of Angostura Bitters
The First Harvest
1 Strawberry
1 Orange Peel
1 1/2oz Simi Sauvignon Blanc
2 Bar Spoons Lavender Bitters
1/2oz Simple Syrup
Top with Johnny Appleseed
Who knew there were so many unique ways to have a beer? I personally enjoyed making and drinking the Nana’s Flip because of its strong taste and smooth finish.Mixologist Derrick Turner made the experience even more enjoyable by providing such great knowledge about each ingredient, answer questions, and adding a little comic relief to the night.The cocktails were delicious and fulfilling. Turner did a great job in walking us through each step so we could achieve the perfect beverage.The class itself would be perfect for birthday’s, bachelorette parties, family gatherings, and date night!ย Space is limited and I encourage you to purchase tickets at only $35 per person by going toย www.hardingsnyc.comย or callingย 212.600.2105.
