As part of our social retreat, Mako will be leading a session around his backup career plan: mixing up cocktails and mocktails.
I'm going to be making a series of community data scientific cocktails and mocktails.


== Preparing ==
I've listed the night's (afternoon's?) menu below here from easiest to most difficult. There are four drinks including one non-alcoholic drink (marked EtOH-free).


If you planning on making drinks with me, you'll probably need to shop for ingredients. My advice it to chose what you want have off the list below and shop just for that drink. Or just bring a beer or glass of wine a cup of tea to watch, chat, learn, and hang out!

I've listed the night's (afternoon's?) menu below here from easiest to most difficult. There are four drinks including one non-alcoholic drink (marked EtOH-free). My advice is to pick one or two that you want make and to shop for ingredients for that drink. If you like the idea of a rosemary lemonade, do the dishwalk cooler. If you like beer, go with the first one. If you like juicy fancy cocktails, try to do the Bitter Elder. They're all great.

Getting a bottle of Campari (or some similar citrus-based digestivo like Gran Classico) is probably a good place to start. It's not super expensive (~$30 in Washington and less elsewhere) and its versatile, tasty, and available almost anywhere. If you beer, Campari, gin, lemons, and elderflower liquor, you can make three things off this list.

You'll need: (a) a whole egg; and (b) a bottle of Cynar; and (c) something to shake your drink in and pour it into when you're done. I promise it will be both fantastic and completely surprising. You won't regret having a bottle of Cynar around.
