Help folks just by enjoying a cocktail or two. Through March 11, American Cut, The Cut Bar and Seed Kitchen & Bar are observing “Old-Fashioned Month.” For every Old-Fashioned cocktail sold, promotion sponsors Four Roses Distillery and National Distributing Company will donate $1 to The Giving Kitchen. American Cut's Plank-Smoked Old-Fashioned blends Four Roses bourbon, maple smoke, AC bitters and caster sugar. Seed's Old-Fashioned includes Four Roses Small Batch, Cherry Heering, orange-infused turbinado syrup and walnut bitters. Call us old-fashioned, but when comparing donation options of sipping a cocktail or pressing “send” for internet donating, cocktail fundraising sounds more appealing and personable. Hometown nonprofit The Giving Kitchen provides emergency assistance to restaurant workers financially and through a network of community resources. Stop by American Cut or Seed, order up and say “Cheers!” You really will be adding cheer to the day of a hardworking hospitality worker in need.
Beer and wings are not the only game in town for
Monday night football fans. At The Southern Gentleman, top NFL game viewing and
top-shelf whiskies team up for the Buckhead Atlanta gastropub’s new Monday
Night Bourbon Club. The weekly event showcases premier whiskey brands and
specialty cocktails flanked by executive chef Matthew Ridgway’s refined tailgating
fare. Reps from featured spirit brands will be on the sidelines to speak with
guests and offer tastes of their product lines for a fun, educational and
interactive experience. Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey takes the all-star roll on
October 19 followed by Four Roses Bourbon on October 26. Forget corn dogs and
field Ridgway’s deviled eggs with okra chutney, Southern Cracker Jack popcorn,
meat pies, cheddar herb biscuits, Georgia peanut butter wings and confit pork
belly with sherry vinegar sauce, fried rosemary and Kentucky bourbon barrel soy
($5-$10). Giant 60” screens on either side of the roomy bar area cap the
owners’ box quality evening.
