Liquorist Drinks Events at MFDF
Marc Farrell Presents... Pass the Sherry Grandma
26 September at #22Redbank
Liquorist Marc Farrell will host 30 enthusiastic liquor fans in a delicious delve into the world of sherries and fortified wines.
No longer the exclusive realm of the over-65s, we're bringing these characterful liquids into the 21st century with the aid of shaking, stirring and mixing.
After a brief history we will be sampling the wines in their natural state, as the locals would drink them. They'll be paired with handmade food matches from the regions of Europe they hail from.
After this the Liquorists will be mixing and swirling their way through an exciting cocktail menu built around the ports, sherries and such tried earlier in the evening.
£25 a head for 5 wines and 5 cocktails, each paired with handmade food matches.
The Thrill of the Chase
30 September at #22Redbank
Sublime liquids from Chase Distillery in Herefordshire, crafted into cocktail heaven and matched with canapes by the Liquorists.
The Liquorists are teaming up with Chase Distillery to give you a wonderful insight into the work done at this truly English institution.
We will taste Chase Potato Vodka, Chase Marmalade Vodka, Chase Smoked Vodka and Williams Chase Gin on their own, and then in cocktails carefully created by the Liquorists. Each will be matched expertly with delightful canapé food pairings.
£25 a head for 4 cocktails and canapés
Trail Blazers and Influencers – 5 Drinks That Changed the World
4 October at #22Redbank
A look at the developments that altered forever how and what we drank.
The introduction of ice, the holy trinity of rum, lime and sugar, the advent of better preservatives for fruit, and the evolution of the Martini all were crucial events.
Come with the Liquorists and taste the best history lesson you have ever been to!
The Liquorists will showcase these drinks and serve up some terribly interesting facts and figures that will surprise and delight you.
£25 a head for 5 cocktails and canapé food matches.
Marc Farrell Presents... There is More to Meat Than Malbec
3 October at #22Redbank
This tasting will look in depth at wine and meat pairings. Red wine isn’t always best and Malbec is NOT the only red wine to go well with steak.
We will use Champagnes, dessert wines and white wines and maybe a few reds from around the globe to show how wine works paired with different cuts of meat.
After this session, your trips to restaurants will never be the same. A must if you are a wine fan, or a red meat fan or indeed a fan of both (guilty!)
£20 a head for 5 wines each paired with handmade food matches
