Shaken or Stirred? The Chemistry and History of the Cocktail

Cocktail mixology explains the basic principles of chemistry as well as the history of the cocktail, deeply rooted in New Orleans. This unique opportunity to sample pairings of foods and cocktails, and learn about subjects ranging from specific gravity to prohibition, showcases the many culinary and cocktailian tales of the Crescent City.

This evening is hosted at Brennan s of Houston. Brennan's, a New Orleans landmark was originally opened in 1946 by Owen Brennan, who had earlier purchased The Old Absinthe House on Bourbon Street, built in 1798. With a history this rich, Brennan s is the perfect location to showcase the history of the cocktail.

This event is part of HMNS celebration of the International Year of Chemistry 2011.
