Join us for an evening of creative cocktails with Darlene Hayes, the woman who literally wrote the book on cider-based cocktails!

While 19th and early 20th century cocktail manuals were filled with cider-based punches, fizzes, and toddies, the quintessential American beverage is back in vogue thanks to the heritage cider revolution. In Cider Cocktails: Another Bite of the Apple, author Darlene Hayes has published the first collection of cider cocktail recipes since the Prohibition.

Darlene will lead a tasting and discussion of cider styles and demonstrate techniques for crafting perfect cider cocktails. You'll learn the history of classic recipes and the inspiration of modern mixology cider trends. Afterwards, take part in a special after-hours shopping experience with an exclusive discount! Darlene's Cider Cocktails book will be available for purchase after the event. Cheese and cider bar snacks will be provided.

Darlene Hayes is cider maker and writer hailing from Northern California's historic apple growing region. She is a columnist for Spirited magazine and a contributor to Cider in Love.
