Low-proof cocktails are all the rage these days, as bars exchange bang-for-your-buck, high-proof cocktails for cordial- and fortified wine-based drinks that we can sip on all night long. But have no fear: low-proof doesn't mean watered-down. In fact, many of these drinks rely heavily on liqueurs offering incomparable intensity of flavor. Low-proof cocktails are just the latest iteration in a storied history of cocktail movements embracing cordials to add depth and balance to everything from fruity tiki potations to bitter boozy beverages and beyond. Join Kevin Mabry, Beverage Director and cocktail magician for Capo and Lincoln in South Boston, to learn about the integral role of cordials in cocktail development. Kevin will be joined by John Troia of Tempus Fugit, Jake Parrot of Haus Alpenz, Justin Cardwell of Licor 43, Henry Preiss of Preiss Imports, and Schuyler Hunton of St. Germain.
