For this unique, strolling cocktail party, The Henry Ford has partnered with New Holland Brewery and Artisan Spirits out of Holland, MI and local mixologists from bars and restaurants around Metro Detroit, to mix classic craft cocktails to order using New Holland’s own distilled spirits. Each signature drink will be complemented with specially-created hors d’oeuvres fashioned in house by The Henry Ford’s award-winning culinary team. The event will also feature Emerald City Designs as a décor sponsor who will create the classic cocktail reception atmosphere.

The local mixologists are from Delux Lounge, Detroit, 24 Grill, Detroit, Twisted Rooster, Belleville, and The Henry Ford. Also, the event will feature the drink from the winner of the Drink Michigan Cocktail contest, Tom Swift.

Guests can endlessly sample a number of these culinary delights, all of which feature a spirit distilled by New Holland Brewery as an ingredient. Hors d’oeuvres, both savory and sweet, will be offered such as shrimp ceviche with micro greens and Duchess Vodka cocktail sauce, pancetta-wrapped foie gras rumaki with a Knickerbocker Gin reduction and caramelized Michigan apples with maple sugar and candied walnuts in a New Holland Amber Rum Sauce over Calder’s vanilla ice cream.

While noshing on the delectable cuisine, guests will have the opportunity to watch professional mixologists demonstrate how to prepare the drinks that highlight each dish, and then be able to sample each cocktail. A cash bar will be available for those wanting a full cocktail.
