Regarding Booze & Bivalves
Like fine spirits and perfectly balanced cocktails, there’s always more to learn about oysters..
Just as the art of elevated drinking goes beyond juice-meets-spirit-meets-glass, there’s a far more elegant way to enjoy the nuances of a freshly harvested oyster than simply adding a squirt of lemon or a dash of Tabasco.
Sharpen your shucking skills, elevate your oyster game, and learn how to savor these succulent, saline treasures of the sea with bespoke, edible oyster perfumes and top tier tipples from Georgette Moger-Petraske, author of Regarding Cocktails and host of NYC’s most coveted secret salon, Regarding Oysters.
Upcoming Public Shows
Our Very First Show
January 26, 2023 8:30 PM EST – A Brief Introduction In this first of what will hopefully be many adventures together, we’ll welcome friends old and new from around the country and explore four tantalizing treats: two of Georgette’s signature cocktails, the Attabuoy and the Saladito, and two edible French oyster perfumes. Georgette will also walk everyone through the ins and outs of shucking, so that every guest can properly enjoy the perfect oyster – and who knows, we might even throw in a traditional Islay oyster luge.
$25
