Aug. 11: Sonnets of the Portuguese cocktail dinner at Koo Zee Doo
Koo Zee Doo (614 N. Second St.), where we had a most excellent dinner this weekend, will host a five-course feast, paired with cocktails from bartenders-about-town Christian Gaal and Phoebe Esmon, next Wednesday, Aug. 11. It's the second event of its kind for Koozy's David Gilberg and Carla Goncalves — they hosted a May Beefeater dinner that also featured the alcoholic stylings of Gaal and Esmon. This time around, the barkeeps will create five drinks, all based around spirits from Philadelphia Distilling — Penn 1681 rye vodka, Bluecoat gin and Vieux Carre absinthe. The dinner runs $100 a couple and reservations are required (215-923-8080). Check out the menu, plus a rundown of the cocktails, after the jump. Appetizer: a savory sangria — Penn 1681 infused with green bell pepper, ginger, coriander and tomato, with a dry white wine, tomato/green pepper garnish Soup Course: Bluecoat Gin infused w/ serrano pepper, corn juice, "Heart of Darkness" bitters, lime Fowl Course: Penn 1681, blackberry/pimenton liqueur, vinho verde Fish Course: Prosciutto-washed Bluecoat, dry sherry, peach puree, houboob bitters (coriander, saffron, white pepper) Dessert Course: Vieux Carre absinthe, strawberry liqueur, lemon juice, simple, sparkling wine
