Rub elbows with cocktail royalty!
Following their on-stage interviews at Decatur Book Festival, the two leading authors and authorities on Southern Spirits will be on hand for a reception… and you’re invited! The reception will take place at Decatur’s Pinewood Saturday, Sept. 3, from 4pm – 6pm.
Here, you’ll meet Robert Moss, author of Southern Spirits, 400 years of drinking in the American South and Fred Minnick, author of Bourbon Curious, a simple tasting Guide for the savvy drinker.
AJC Food Editor Ligaya Figueras will kick off a question and answer session, then you’ll enjoy a chance to meet each author, listen to a few colorful tales, and sample a few of their favorite cocktails.
Tickets to this event cost $20 and include two craft cocktails, selected from the authors’ latest work. If you missed the chance at the festival, signed books may also be purchased at the reception.
Purchase tickets here.
