Gin and The Gold Coast
June 11, 2020 | 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Step back in time as culinary historian and author Sarah Lohman explores the history of gin and why it was the alcohol of choice during Prohibition. She’ll cover stories specific to the “rum” runner of the north coast of Long Island. We’ll take a look at the Hidden Bar inside Coe Hall, built just as the Prohibition Amendment became law. Beverage expert Jordan Lari of 2 Spring restaurant in Oyster Bay will also lead us in a special gin cocktail demonstration from behind his own bar. This event is part of our Panorama series of virtual gatherings which you can enjoy from home.
