The Joy of Citrus

Citrus is indispensable in any bar serving mixed drinks, and has been since before we even had the word “cocktail”. But did you know that grapefruits used to be named shaddocks? Or that Mexico grows waaay more Persian limes than Mexican limes? Or the secret ingredient that links Coca-Cola with perfumes and the Ramos Gin Fizz? Join spirits educator and cocktail historian for a romp through the history, biology and applications of citrus of all kinds. Cocktails will be served!
