About this event
One of 189 upcoming events at Creative Alliance, and 380 across Baltimore.
Grab your password and slip into your finest fringe. We are breaking the rules for a night of history, mystery, and high-proof spirits. While the history books credit men with the roaring twenties, women actually kept the spirits alive. Join us for a lively lecture, led by M. Bess Vincent, PhD, Senior Associate Dean for Strategy and Chief of Staff at the Johns Hopkins Krieger School of Arts & Sciences, as she pulls back the curtain on the unexpected heroes of the underground liquor trade. Sip on a classic, era-authentic featured cocktail upon arrival and step "behind the bar" for a quick, hands-on lesson to craft the perfect Prohibition-style drink. This event will feature a lecture, cocktail tastings, and lite fare, and attendees will learn and celebrate a piece of our country’s feminism history. Bonus: Each attendee also gets a cocktail recipe card.
