At this fun and informative seminar, you'll learn the general history of cocktails by looking at four classics, the Old Fashioned (which is simply a variation on the original "cocktail"), the Manhattan, the Martini, and the Daiquiri. From these four classics we'll look at variations on each one, how each drink and category evolved, historical anecdotes, pop-culture references, etc. Looking especially at the Daiquiri, we'll see how this drink is one of the many "sours," and to master one is to master a concept that allows you not only to make other classics (Sidecar, Margarita, Whiskey Sour, Aviation, White Lady, Pisco Sour, Jack Rose, and many others), but to invent your own variations, as well. You'll also learn many basic cocktail making tips throughout this event. All the while, you'll enjoy tasty appetizers created especially by the Occidental's acclaimed chef. - To register by mail, Include your name, address, phone & email and send check to:

Prior to the invention of the pop can and efficient refrigeration, soda was served at drugstore fountains that were the alter ego of the saloon. During the heyday of the soda fountains in the 1800s, New Orleans was a center of creativity for soda recipes much like cocktails. The obvious soda examples were drinks like the Roffignac and Ramos Gin Fizz, but other soda drinks evolved from the shakers of soda jerks. For example, root beer was known as New Orleans Mead prior to its more generic designation and the popular Nectar soda were created in New Orleans, plus many more. The Big Easy Soda session will take a look at the techniques and recipes of some of New Orleans soda drinks and how they influence cocktails today. - To register by mail, Include your name, address, phone & email and send check to:

Washington DC, Cairo, Havana, London, Paris, Rome, Istanbul, New York -- from the 1930s through the 1960s, legendary mixologist “Joe The Bartender” was everywhere and nowhere, always one step ahead of governments who suspected him of espionage because he served so many heads of state, generals, and journalists. This seminar reveals the untold story of the trained chemist who spoke eight languages and survived two revolutions, imprisonment, and exile to create such infamous exotic drinks as the Suffering Bastard. Presented by Jeff “Beachbum” Berry, who spent two years tracking down his elusive subject. - To register by mail, Include your name, address, phone & email and send check to:
