Featured SpeakersDrinking Like Ladies co-authors, Kirsten “Kitty” Amann & Misty Kalkofen

Boston-based cocktail book authors and drinks historians Misty Kalkofen and Kristen “Kitty” Amann will take us on a libations-filled history lesson. In this year’s Virtual Libations for Preservation, they will share:

  • Tips for making a delicious and classic “sour-style” cocktail using Uncle Nearest Whiskey and simple, at-home ingredients
  • The unique backdrop for pre-Prohibition cocktail culture writ-large and in Boston proper–from the saloon to the gaming house, to the glamorous clubs of the Conga belt to the beating heart of Boston’s 1950’s Jazz scene
  • The stories of influential Bostonians like John Coburn, an African-American abolitionist and gaming-house owner, and Joseph Walcott, owner of Wally’s Paradise, an iconic spot (and Legacy business!) you can still patronize today!

All to benefit the Boston Preservation Alliance as we raise a rocks glass for preservation and Boston’s liquid history.

About the Presenters:

 

Misty.Tatai

MISTY KALKOFEN first stepped behind the bar while studying theology 
at Harvard Divinity School and soon realized what most excited her about
 the Bible was the passage in which Jesus turns water into wine. Kalkofen has spent over twenty years honing her craft and has earned a reputation as one of America’s foremost authorities on cocktail history and culture. She has been featured in Bon Appetit, Imbibe, Food & Wine Cocktail editions, Wine Enthusiast, the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Globe, Tasting Panel, Wine & Spirits, and more. In 2013, she decided to focus attention on her love for all things agave by joining the team of Del Maguey Single Village Mezcal. Always one to find a good reason for a party, Kalkofen founded the Boston chapter of Ladies United for the Preservation of the Endangered Cocktail (LUPEC) thus fulfilling her desire to “cocktail for a cause.” Since then, LUPEC has raised more than $40,000 for local Boston women’s charities by throwing the best parties in town.
