Classic Cocktails from the Big Easy with Neal Bodenheimer

Winner of the 2018 James Beard Award for Outstanding Bar Program, Cure is largely credited with pioneering the craft cocktail movement in New Orleans. The bar’s cocktail book written by founder Neal Bodenheimer,Cure: New Orleans Drinks and How to Mix ‘Em, is a love letter to the individuals that make New Orleans so singular and the drinks that represent the incredible history of the Crescent City. Join Neal for a one-of-a-kind cocktail class teaching guests how to make three drinks that have put Cure on the map—and represent the diverse drinking culture of New Orleans. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from and imbibe with the foremost figure on the New Orleans’ cocktail scene.
 Light bites will be served. Copies of Cure: New Orleans Drinks and How to Mix ‘Em by Neal Bodenheimer are available for purchase with tickets and at the event from our friends at Kitchen Arts & Letters.
