Spirits in the Night, June 10 at the Homewood Museum

The 15th Anniver­sary Evening of Tra­di­tional Bev­er­ages Fri­day night at Hop­kins’ Home­wood Museum isn’t your usual happy hour. This year, the annual event cel­e­brates tra­di­tional spir­its, fea­tur­ing a talk by Dr. Den­nis Pogue, chief his­to­rian at Mount Ver­non, George Washington’s his­toric home where whiskey and other spir­its are being made using the found­ing father’s own recipes. The liquor for this evening’s cock­tails, how­ever, is cour­tesy of craft dis­tillers of this era, such as Maryland’s own Black­wa­ter Sloop Betty Vodka, Catoctin Creek Organic Mosby’s Spirit Rye from Vir­ginia, and the def­i­nitely not kid-friendly Art in the Age ROOT Tea Liqueur from Penn­syl­va­nia. The evening also includes a silent auc­tion and appe­tiz­ers paired with cocktails.
