Cocktail Seminar: The Tipsy Typewriter
May 21 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Raise a glass to literary greats with an evening of cocktails inspired by the masters of the written word. On the eve of the Mountain Words Literary Festival, we’ll shake, stir, and sip our way through the Hemingway Daiquiri, Fitzgerald Fizz, and Poe Punch-each crafted with flavors as bold and nuanced as the writers themselves. Learn the history, techniques, and tales behind these iconic drinks while enjoying a lively, bookish toast to the festival ahead. Cheers to words, rum, and well-made cocktails!
