One of the time-honored cocktails has to go to the martini. Dating back to the 1880s, the classic martini continues to live on as one of the greats in bar culture, whether you like it quintessentially dry or absolutely filthy. But if you are thirsting for more history behind your favorite drink, paired with a little cocktail how-to, then we've got just the thing.
Introducing The Evolution of Classic Cocktails, only at Time Out Market New York, Union Square. Our two-part cocktail series dives into the story behind the iconic drink, plus offers hands-on assistance to help you shake and stir up your variation, your way.
For our first chapter on Thursday, January 15, we go back to the drink that started it all: the Old Fashioned. With our partners at Angel's Envy, you’ll shake, stir and sip your way through three variations: the classic old fashioned, the Manhattan and the Sazerac.
But if you'd rather dive right into the tini itself, join us on Thursday, January 22, for an all-out martini-making class in conjunction with Grey Goose. There, you'll perfect the vodka martini—dry, dirty or dusty—the Vesper and the espresso martini. And before you bowl over with too much booze in your belly, Paninoteca by Anthony will be providing hearty bites for each class. So come, master the technique and discover what makes these cocktails the most enduring of all time.
The Evolution of Classic Cocktails will be held on Thursday, January 15th and Thursday, January 22. Tickets are priced at $55 per person, and include three drinks and bites. Sign up for the January 15 class here; sign up for the January 22 class here.
