Hot on the heels of the GADF, the next Oregon cocktail event takes place this Sunday at Cassidy’s. Our theme this time is beer cocktails and proceeds will once again benefit Schoolhouse Supplies, a local charity that buys school supplies for children. We’ll have five mixologists — Elizabeth Markham, Christian Rouillier, Lee Watson, Chris Churilla, and Jabriel Donohue — serving up original creations using spirits and beer. They have some crazy drinks planned and I’m looking forward to finally tasting them drinks in person.
Tickets are available at the door and at Clyde Common, Cassidy’s, and Carlyle. The event runs from 5:00 to 8:00 and $30 gets you five cocktails and the warm, satisfied glow of having helped the children (or maybe that’s just from the alcohol). Be there!
Update 10/30/09: Alas, Elizabeth can no longer make the event, but for a good reason: She’s starting a new job behind the bar at one of my favorite restaurants, Laurelhurst Market. I’ll be stepping in to take her place. Two days to make an original beer and gin cocktail? Yeah, I can do that.
