Head To the Cocktail Party Dinner Release of 'The New Cocktail Hour' at Russet, June 1

by Drink Philly on May 24, 2016 in Event Listing

On Wednesday, June 1 at 7 PM, Russet will host a special dinner and cocktail party to celebrate the release of local food blogger and expert Tenaya Darlington’s new book, The New Cocktail Hour.

Chefs Andrew Wood and Brandon Thomas have prepared a four-course meal to pair with different cocktails made by Darlington and featured in her book, and this particular meal will take place in Russet’s intimate private dining room, which is tucked away behind the kitchen. The space even has an outdoor terrace, where guests can mingle and eat if the weather allows.

The evening will open with cheeses from Doe Run alongside French 75s, and the entire menu can be found below:
 
Amuse Bouche: Oyster with strawberry umebochi, lovage, sorrel
First Course: Tangerine and walnut salumi, smoked rhubarb compote, brioche toast with Darlington’s
Hemingway Daiquiri (white rum, maraschino liqueur, lime juice, grapefruit juice)
Second Course: Pit-roasted Happy Valley Beef, pickled botanicals, sour cherries, stinging nettles, asparagus with Darlington’s Remember the Maine (rye, sweet vermouth, cherry heering, absinthe, cherry)
Dessert: Champagne au soyer, a champagne float with house-made ice cream (brandy, orange curacao, maraschino liqueur, ice cream, Champagne)

Tickets are $75 per person, which includes a copy of Darlington’s book — you must reserve a seat, and it’ll likely sell out quickly, so call 215-546-1521 to ensure a spot.
