Virtual Happy Hour for all AAMD Members


Tuesday, September 8, 2020
3:30 PM - 5:00 PM (MDT)
Zoom Conference

We will be utilizing a new platform that will allow an easier networking opportunity!  Attendees will be able to move themselves from virtual table to virtual table.  This will allow you to control how many different people you can talk to!

Get out your drink supplies and gather some ingredients for a fun interactive Happy Hour featuring a professional mixologist who will be walking us through making a specialty cocktail. 


We will be making a Gimlet and an Old Fashioned. Here is what you will need:

Bourbon

Vodka or Gin 

Angostura bitters

2 fresh limes

1 fresh orange

Sugar (you will need a small amount not in syrup form for the old fashioned)

Simple syrup (make this at home--- add 2 cups of sugar and 2 cups of water to a saucepan.  Heat on low, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.  Remove from heat, cool, and refrigerate.  

 

Tools:

Cocktail shaker (if you don't have one and don't want to purchase one, any container with a tight lid for shaking up liquid will work)

Jigger (for measuring ounces)

Citrus juicer (you can find these in most grocery stores, and if you don't want to purchase you can certainly squeeze the fruit by hand)

Knife

Potato peeler

Muddler (if you don't have one I will show how to use a spoon or other kitchen gadgets)

Rocks glass

Martini style glass

Ice
