MICHAEL SWAN: SOOOO TIRED OF THE 101 TAG >>>

Just found this press release on Bobble Tiki’s inbox:

El Gaucho Tacoma is launching “Cocktails 101,” a monthly cocktail education series designed to edify and entertain while demonstrating how guests can bring a bit of the legendary El Gaucho swank home.
 
Each “Cocktails 101” event will be based upon a theme and include a reception, where participants will sample signature El Gaucho appetizers and taste the featured libations before being taught how to make the cocktails. Students will also receive a goody bag of “study materials,” including numerous recipes and gifts to help them recreate the evening’s featured drinks at home.
 
Scheduled themed events include:
 
Friday, April 17â€"Classic Cocktails 101
(Gin Martini, Vodka Martini, Manhattan)

Friday, May 15â€"Spring Fever
(Cosmopolitan, Lemon Drop, Kamikaze)

Friday, July 17â€"Summer Lovin’
(Classic Mojito, Ginger Basil Mojito, Long Island Iced Tea)

Friday, September 25â€"Fall Essentials

Friday, November 20â€"Home for the Holidays
(Holly Berry, Winter Wonderland, Poinsettia)
 
Matriculation fee: $40 per person, plus tax and gratuity.
 
Don’t wait for the bell to ringâ€"there isn’t one! Classes are held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., but guests needn’t arrive promptly at the beginning: students may come and go as they pleaseâ€"without a hall passâ€"and sneak out whenever they want.


Thought you’d want to know since Bobble Tiki typically never shows up at the office on Thursday.
