Nov. 28: David Wondrich punches The Farmers' Cabinet
This was mentioned in What's Cooking this week, but here we've got room for more soused chatter: This coming Monday, Nov. 28, David Wondrich, preeminent American cocktail historian and author of Imbibe!, will hold court at The Farmers' Cabinet (1113 Walnut St.) for an evening of strong, strong punches.
Running from 7 to 10 p.m., the pay-as-you-go event will feature seminal many-boozed admixtures like The Professor's Orange Punch (cognac, rum, Seville orange, sugar and water), which originates with bartending godfather Jerry Thomas, as well as Philadelphia Fish House Punch (peach brandy, cognac, Jamaican rum, lemon juice, water), one stiff cup our city can officially call its own. Head bartender Phoebe Esmon and the rest of the F-Cab crew will be mixing cocktails, as well, including The Buck and Breck (cognac, absinthe, bitters, Champagne, sugar and a twist), a Thomas recipe featured in Imbibe! There will be a light spread out for all drinkers. Wondrich will join Esmon and Co. behind the bar to regale the curious, serve the eager and fancifully flag the overserved, so be sure to come equipped with your best cocktail-based queries.
