2 hours demonstration and tasting SIGN UP

Put a high-tech spin on tradition this holiday season in this tasting and demonstration with two men known for their appreciation of a fine cocktail. The French Culinary Institute's Nils Norén, VP of Culinary Arts, and Dave Arnold, head of the Culinary Technology department, take a push-the-boundaries approach to mixing drinks that can enliven even the most orthodox of holiday recipes. See innovative techniques, such as carbonation, rotary evaporation, and vacuum infusion, in action. And pick up handy low-tech bartender tricks to help you maximize cocktail taste and texture at home. On the agenda for the night: Nils' take on traditional Swedish Glögg, a cutting-edge hot buttered rum, and cocktails flamed with the Red Hot Poker (a turbocharged electric rod Dave built for beverage ignition), along with festive snacks for the cocktail hour and a few other surprises.

Students must be at least 21 years of age to enroll in Holiday Cocktails.
