Mixing it up in downtown Phoenix with Whiskey and Bourbon

WHAT: Do you have what it takes to be a Malt Master? Have you dabbled with bourbon but want to expand your mixology skills? Whatever level of expertise, you’re invited to join mixologist Matt Tobey and refine your cocktail skills from 5 to 7 p.m. in District American Kitchen and Wine Bar on Thursday, July 18, 2013. Sample whiskey and tasty tidbits, enjoy new cocktail recipes, and learn how to make brandied cherries.

Mixologist Matt will guide guests on how to make two whiskey cocktails. First, Matt will show off his Arizona Hickory Smoked Old Fashion, a cocktail that recently debuted on District American Kitchen and Wine Bar’s spring libation list. Guests will first sample the whiskey, then review the tasting notes and finally move on to making the cocktail. This cocktail includes hickory smoked Woodford Reserve bourbon, house brandied cherries and locally sourced honey. Mixologist Matt will even describe and show guests how to create brandied cherries. Yum!

For the second cocktail, mixologists Matt will pour a slightly different whiskey or bourbon and compare it to the first. This second cocktail will be less involved and easy for beginners.

Complementing appetizers will be offered during the event. Happy hour snacks and drinks will also be available for purchase. Complimentary three-hour self-parking with validation is available in the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown Hotel parking garage, which is adjacent District American Kitchen and Wine Bar.

Event cost is $10.00 upon entry. Please confirm attendance here: http://on.fb.me/126Hpko
