Hey, are you that guy at the party who is always coming up with crazy drink recipes, testing your boozy concoctions on your friends and wondering what it would be like to have a drink named after you? Well if you are in the New York area, we have an event that might pique your interest.

On Monday August 19th, Silver Lining cocktail bar and City Harvest, the world’s first food rescue organization are teaming up to hold a mixology class. The genius drink scientists at Silver Lining will be teaching guests how to craft the perfect summer time cocktails – just in time for that Labor Day party you haven’t planned yet. There will be complementary food, oh and ice-cutting techniques.

The event will be held at the Institute of Culinary Education from 6:30 to 9:30 pm and all the proceeds will go to City Harvest to help them with their goal of collecting 46 million pounds of food this year for the hungry. City Harvest delivers free of charge to roughly 400 community food programs throughout the five boroughs of New York to help feed the more than one million New Yorkers that face hunger each year.
