"A perfect start to a perfect dining experience..." Join John Gertsen, bar manager of Drink, and Robert Cooper of Cooper Spirits for an appetite-whetting seminar about the art of the aperitif. Learn about the history and cultural importance of the aperitif, and how you can seamlessly incorporate it into your entertaining style. Aperitif cocktails will be paired with classic hors d'oeuvres prepared by William Johnson, of Barbara Lynch Gruppo's Drink and Sportello. The aperitif tradition dates back to the 17th century, most commonly used in Italy. Aperitifs can be made from classic ingredients or new classics such as St-Germain. They are a great way to entertain before a dinner or as the focus of entire party concept.
