Fall is upon us and as we are sad to say goodbye to summertime Chicago we must be prepared for the inevitable shift. No better way to bring in fall than with a Hennessy Cognac cocktail option for your guests on your upcoming menu.
Feel free to R&D Fall Cognac Cocktails with IL Hennessy Ambassador & Mixologist Alexis Brown at the Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits Hospitality Suite Monday, September 13th. Alexis will cover Classic Cognac Cocktails and spark your creativity after a fully immersive tasting of Hennessy VS, VSOP & XO.
Just bring yourself! All spirits and tools will be provided.
The workshop is open to all bartenders, mixologists and beverage directors in the Chicagoland area. The workshop is 11:30-5:30pm for you to pop in when it’s convenient. Reserve your 1hr spot now! Spaces are limited. Please only RSVP if you can attend.
Let’s get to mixing!
