'Cocktails in the Gilded Age' – Lecture series continues Thursday night
A wide range of topics, from television production to dressmaking to cocktails to music, will be explored in the winter edition of The Preservation Society of Newport County’s ongoing Gilded Age Lecture Series.
Tickets for each lecture cost $20 for in-person attendance, or $15 for Preservation Society members. Zoom registration costs $10 for members and non-members. For more information and a link to buy tickets, go to www.newportmansions.org/events/winter-gilded-age-lecture-series. The topic this week is:
Thursday, Feb. 23, 6 p.m.: “ 'I’ll Have Another' – Cocktail Culture in the Gilded Age"
- Live at Marble House and via Zoom
- The Gilded Age was also the “Golden Age of Cocktails,” when discriminating palates discovered the delights of new concoctions that became the classic cocktails of today, including the Martini, the Manhattan and the Old-Fashioned. Sharing a taste of this entertaining topic will be Cecelia Tichi, author of “Gilded Age Cocktails” and the Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Professor of English Emerita at Vanderbilt University.
