Bar professional Sammi Katz and illustrator Olivia McGiff have recently released their latest book, Spirited Women: Makers, Shakers, and Trailblazers in the World of Cocktails. Their second illustrated book celebrates women who have shaped the spirits industry from ancient times to today. The authors are going on a global tour, and are making a stop at one of Brooklyn's favorite neighborhood spots.
On March 12, Katz will be teaming up with spirits educator and author of Tiki: Modern Tropical Cocktails Shannon Mustipher to take overr the front bar at Bed-Stuy's Winona's. Together, they will sling drinks from the newly published book shaken featuring a line-up of spirits, including Montanya Rum, Pollinator Spirits, Saint Luna Moonshine and Privateer Rum. A few familiar faces profiled in the book will be in attendance, so try not to get too star-struck.
It's free to reserve your spot; drinks and snacks will be available for purchase. Courtesy of Cafe Con Libros, copies of both Spirited Women and Tiki will be available for purchase.
