Robert Simonson is one of the most celebrated drinks journalists of our time. He covers cocktails and other adult beverages for a little paper called The New York Times. He's a regular contributor to Punch and Imbibe and his books are phenomenal. We're throwing this little shindig to celebrate the launch of his latest tome, The Martini Cocktail: A Meditation on the World's Greatest Drink! We're going to celebrate it with a good old-fashioned cocktail party. Robert will be signing books. <Signed books make great presents!>
Jill DeGroff's art has proven quite popular. We mounted a show of her work back in July and most of the pieces sold within a week! So we asked her for more work. The purchasers are eager to take possession of their pieces. Jill will be here with a new body of work (and some that's just new to us). There's no better way to enjoy Saloon Art than with a Martini in hand. <Original signed artwork makes a great present!>
Dale DeGroff (the King of Cocktails himself) provided Robert with one of the recipes he featured in the book. Dale will be stirring up examples of same for your bibulous enjoyment. We'll be stirring up some others.
Robert will say a few words at 6:30, and then we'll finish when Dale fires up an old-fashioned Café Brulot Diabolique. This is a new table-side tradition at Stage Left Steak. The Brulot Bowl is Fantastic! <A Silver Brulot Bowl makes a great present!>
Passed Hors d'Oeuvres. 2 Drinks and A Café Brulot.
