Liquor and Lore is a two-and-a-half-hour cocktail history experience led by Beth Vandergrift at the War Memorial in Grosse Pointe Farms, guiding attendees through three full-size bourbon cocktails -- a Mint Julep, a New York Sour, and a Kentucky Buck, each paired with food and the history behind the drink. This is not a standard tasting event; Vandergrift is a cocktail historian who brings genuine depth to the stories behind what ends up in your glass, making the evening as educational as it is enjoyable. Tickets are eighty dollars per person for those twenty-one and over, and the War Memorial setting on Lake Shore Drive in Grosse Pointe Farms is one of the most elegant event venues in Metro Detroit. If you are looking for a distinctive Friday night in April that goes well beyond dinner and drinks, this one delivers on both counts.
