Science Behind the Cocktail Coming to Dayton
Ever wonder how you can keep carbonation in champagne? Why bartenders always pour the alcohol in first and then the mixer? If garnish really influences the taste of your cocktail? We have, and now we’re going to get the answers to our questions.
Mistology: The Science Behind the Cocktail, is an after hours event hosted at the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery (2600 DeWeese Parkway, Dayon) that will explore the entertaining and educational side of cocktail creation.
After the presentation, attendees can apply what they learned with hands-on demos or feel free to kick back and let other on-site bar staff do the work.
Admission to the Wednesday, Nov. 12 event is $25 a person. Tickets are available to anyone 21 years of age and older. The event, brought to you by Canadian Mist, begins at 7 p.m. with an interactive presentation from Canadian Mist’s Chief Entertaining Officer (CEO) Tim Laird … how great a title is that! The event will last until 9 p.m. and we’re told plenty of appetizers will be available to nosh on during that time. All proceeds will benefit the museum.
In case his name is new to you, Laird is a master at mixing cocktails (you don’t just get a title of Chief Entertaining Officer without knowing what you’re doing). He will answer any and all of your science related questions. Not only the how, but also the why.
Looking to RSVP? Space is limited. To reserve a spot, go to mistology.boonshoftmuseum.org. For those unable to make it, stay tuned to this blog to see what we learn at tomorrow’s event.

In the future can you give more advance notice for events such as this. One day notice is too short to change previous commitments or other arrangements. Sounds like fun but too bad I can’t make it due to a conflict.

Great idea to have. Really crappy reporting and notice giving. In the future, something more than same day notice would be great.
