OPPI Social Hour: Happy Hour with Hemson - How to Make a Manhattan
It’s the last social event of the conference. In the spirit of urbanism, why not kick-back and learn how to make a Manhattan. You deserve it, and, yes, it will be after 5:00 p.m. in Cape Verde. Russell Mathew, Partner from Hemson will teach you how to make a Manhattan with the most stylish accoutrement. Please join us (even if you are just having a cuppa).  If you would like to make the cocktail, please bring the following:
 
Canadian whiskey
Red (Sweet) vermouth
Angostura bitters
Ice cubes
Luxardo Cherry (Maraschino will do)
Orange (for peel)
Rock glass
Cocktail shaker or mixing glass and strainer
Wooden match(es)
… a positive attitude!
 
Fun, interesting and possibly cocktail-related planning facts will also be poured during the social hour.
