Tasting Seminar: Return of the Green Fairy
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
7:30 to 9pm - $30
Absinthe just made its legal return to the US, but it is still a spirit laced with tradition, mystery and a bit of madness!
Sonja Kassebaum of North Shore Distillery leads a discussion covering the history, tradition, mythology and mixology of absinthe. Plus we'll sample some tastes of food to pair with absinthe and related cocktails.
At this event, we’ll sample three different styles of absinthe and cocktails made with them:
- North Shore’s newly released Sirène Absinthe Verte
- Kübler Swiss Absinthe Superieure
- St. George Spirits’ Absinthe Verte
RSVP for this special event soon - seating is limited, so don't miss it!
About our presenter
This course will be led by Sonja Kassebaum. Sonja Kassebaum loves beverages, plain and simple. Always has, really. Although not professionally behind the stick, she is an avid home bartender and can often be found in her kitchen with various bar paraphernalia strewn about, or in a great cocktail bar enjoying a libation. Of course she dabbles in wine as well, especially as it plays into her cocktails.
Her reputation as a cocktail party queen has only been enhanced by her latest professional endeavor. She is the co-founder of North Shore Distillery, a boutique small-batch distillery based in Lake Bluff, Illinois. Prior to starting the distillery with her husband Derek, she was in human resources and practiced employment law at a large firm in Chicago. So far, Sonja has found that making spirits, drinking cocktails and writing about her adventures is more fun than practicing law. Sonja has her own blog called Thinking of Drinking and writes newsletters and web content for North Shore Distillery.
