On Friday, September 18, 2015, 7:00 p.m., the Frog and the Peach, 29 Dennis Street at Hiram Square, New Brunswick, New Jersey, will host “The Bitter and the Sweet,” a Garden Tasting of Aperitifs and Digestifs.
The tasting will include: Averna… Genepy des Alpes… Prunier Pineau des Charentes… Barbieri Aperol… Lillet Blanc… Dubonnet Rouge… Lustau “La Jaraña” Fino or Amontillado “Los Acros”… Dry Sherry… Bonal Gentiane-Quina… Cocchi Americano… Zucca Rabarbaro Amaro… Fernet Branca… Suze… La Troussepinete… Cappelletti.
Passed hors d’oeuvres will also be served.
The current craze for craft cocktails; the opening of swank Manhattan ‘Bitter Bars”; the worldwide shortage of Angostura; all are manifestations of an exploding interest in aperitifs and digestifs. Traditional Old World products of herbs, spices, fruits, concocted by secret recipe were originally used for their health benefits. Today, these fortified wines and liqueurs are all about flavor.
Jeremy Fisher will conduct an informal tasting, leading guests through a wide range of these delicious bottles and also demonstrating their use in mixology.
The cost of the tasting is $40.00 per person (plus tax & gratuity). For more information, or to make a reservation, please call (732) 846-3216, extension 0.
Bon Appétit!
