Bottled Cocktail Collection

When: WEDNESDAY, Apr 1 2009 7:00pm-10:00pm

Where: Bourbon at 2321 18th Street NW, DC

Join Owen Thomson, Bourbon's Operations Manager and President of the DC Craft Bartenders Guild, at Bourbon for the launch of his handcrafted "bottled" cocktail collection.

When asked the reasoning behind the concept Thomson said, "I first came across the concept of bottled cocktails in Jerry Thomas' 1862 Manual (the first bartenders manual written in America) and it seemed like the perfect solution to a problem that often befalls modern bartenders. In a higher volume bar it is sometimes hard to turn out consistent and well crafted drinks, especially when you have lines of people who just want a drink quick. I figured that utilizing an old concept in a modern way could allow people to get high quality drinks in a more crowd friendly presentation."
