On the RoX: A Cocktail Party with Rockey's Liqueur

Why in the world would anyone want to put something called "Bitters" into a drink? In fact, Bitters are critical in the best drinks. The first publication of a bartenders' guide which included cocktail recipes was in 1862 - How to Mix Drinks; The Bon Vivant's Companion, by "Professor" Jerry Thomas. A key ingredient which differentiated cocktails from other drinks was the use of Bitters and are essential in making a proper Manhattan or Old Fashioned. Fee Brothers CEO Jon Spacher will discuss the history of this Rochester institution, how they make bitters and what makes this curious cocktail companion such a perfect pairing to bourbon. Presenter Jon Spacher is the CEO of Fee Brothers, a hometown Rochester company that makes fine bitters, botanical waters, mixes, brines, and cordial syrups for distribution around the world. Family-owned and operated since their founding in 1864, they are one of the few businesses that have lived to see a fifth generation.
