GIN DINNER AT DANIEL'S BROILER-LAKE UNION

@Schwartz Brothers Restaurants Blog: GIN DINNER AT DANIEL'S BROILER-LAKE UNIONTweet this!
Our second dinner in the 2012 Daniel's Broiler Spirit Dinner Series will be with a spirit that originated in Holland and made its way to England; GIN. The United States is the largest consumer of gin and micro-distilleries are popping up all over to create this classic.













The differences in Gin and the four major styles that are available will be discussed at our dinner. We will talk of the history and how it has been produced from the early 17th Century. What botanicals are used and how they relate to your favorite cocktail. Take for instance the Martini, where did it come from, how is it properly made, shaken or stirred. Winston Churchill once said, passing the cork from the vermouth bottle over his drink, was just enough for his Martini.

Our team of Mixologists will be on hand to hand shake your cocktail tableside to accompany each course. You will get to see the tools and the classic martini shakers used to create your own cocktail at home. Come join us for this fun and exciting time.
