Washington, DC 20009Join the Museum of the American Cocktail in celebrating, or commiserating, the eve of Tax Day with a non-taxing and slightly evasive evening of cocktails and history at the renowned Darlington House Restaurant in Dupont Circle, D.C. Take a fun and historical look at how Americans have dealt with the efforts of Uncle Sam to tax us and interfere with the Constitutional right to bend elbows. We’ll talk about the Whiskey Rebellion, Prohibition, bootlegging, rum running, tax avoidance, and other topics, all while enjoying delicious appetizers from Darlington House’s celebrated kitchen. You’ll also enjoy classic libations such as the Income Tax Cocktail, the Scoff Law, the Rum Runner, the Three Mile Limit, and others, and you’ll learn how to mix ‘em, too.? Derek Brown (The Gibson) and Phil Greene (Museum of the American Cocktail) will be joined by Garrett Peck, author of the forthcoming book “The Prohibition Hangover”? (www.prohibitionhangover.com) and founder of D.C.’s own “Temperance Tour,” a guided journey through Prohibition-related sites in our nation’s capital.
