Cocktails with Lauren

I had the pleasure of taking two cocktail classes with "Lauren" from www.cocktailswithlauren.com. I took Green Market Cocktails and All in for Gin. First off, I was very impressed with Lauren's knowledge of both the drinks and alcohol. She really knows her stuff, which she should as a bartender at Raines Law Room in NYC, a speakeasy type bar which specializes in prohibition and pre-prohibition drinks.

We listened to a brief lecture, which included directions to make your own simple syrup and Chili Agave syrup. Then watched Lauren make the cocktails, and then were given directions to make our own. Green Market cocktails featured drinks make with fruit, and a punch bowl. What a great idea for your next party, have guests serve themselves. All in for Gin also featured a punch, a Martini, and Tom Collins. We learned about different brands of Gin, and I discovered Perry's Tot Gin, a very strong Gin made in New York by the New York Distilling Company. I definitely recommend trying it if you consider yourself a Gin aficionado. 

Lauren is available for private parties and corporate events. She has experience leading cocktail classes with Rains Law Room and The Astor Center. She has presented at the Manhattan Cocktail Classic, Tales of the Cocktail, and Appetite: Food and Wine festival.
