Kevin Ludwig is working diligently with his business partners to open up the much-anticipated cocktail emporium Beaker and Flask. He’s also been pulling double duty heading up the bar at Clyde Common where he is known as one of the cities top bartenders. Before long he’ll have to step away from Clyde Common’s bar to start his new enterprise.

Tonight, House Spirits’ Recession Proof Mixology event at Clyde Common will be a kind of celebration of Ludwig’s move. You can expect Ludwig and the fellas from House Spirits to be shaking, mixing, and muddling up a tempest of tempting boozy beverages for your enjoyment. It’s sure to be one hell of a party. Expect to see some of the cities best mixologists in attendance—I know for a fact they like a cheap cocktail just as much as you.

The event has been extended an extra hour for the occasion (4 pm-7 pm), and these three hours may turn out to be the best of your week.

The 20th Century Cocktail
Aviation Gin, Lillet Blanc, White Crème de Cacao and freshly squeezed lemon juice
