On Monday, May 10, the always-excellent Koo Zee Doo (614 N. Second St.) will host a bit of an unorthodox dinner that sounds like hungry boozehound heaven — owners David Gilberg and Carla Goncalves are pairing up five Portuguese courses with five distinct Beefeater gin cocktails developed by local tin shakers Phoebe Esmon (Chick's) and Christian Gaal (Noble, Kraftwork). The meal, which costs $85 per couple, will feature signature Koo Zee Doo dishes like cod croquettes and shrimp piri piri, plus plates like monkfish and blood sausage skewers and roasted lamb with fried corn porridge, orange salad, charred fennel and leeks. (Full menu after the jump.) Esmon and Gaal's cocktails will work off traditional Portuguese wines and flavors — think Vinho Verde, port and even one with chourico-infused gin (!).

Rory: 

I'm told there's a fully booked seating at 8pm, but before that any time's fair game; just make a reservation.
