NOMA presents: MISTology: The Science Behind the Cocktail March 25, 2009

MISTology Fundraiser is for Cocktail Lovers

Ever wonder how you can keep carbonation in champagne? Why bartenders always pour the alcohol in first and then the mixer? If garnish really influences the taste of your cocktail? MISTology will explore the entertaining and educational side of cocktail creation.

The event, brought to you by Canadian Mist Whisky, begins with an interactive presentation from Canadian Mist's Chief Entertaining Officer (CEO) Tim Laird and Spirits Scientist Steve Hughes. Tim is the master at mixing cocktails while Steve, a member of Mist's Research and Development team, spends his day dissecting cocktails in a lab. Together, they will answer any and all of your bartending and science-related questions. Not only the how, but also the why.

After the presentation, attendees can apply what they learned with hands-on demos. If you prefer to kick back and let others do the work, there will be a bar staff on-site and plenty of appetizers to enjoy.

The event is open to anyone 21 years of age and older.

All proceeds benefit the New Orleans Museum of Art.

Space is limited so reservations are recommended.

RSVP to Laura Wallis at (504) 658-4130 or Lizzie Levy at (504) 658-4127.
