Uggghhh, I hated chemistry and physics in high school. If food were not involved in this whole operation, I would have dismissed the idea a long time ago. The International Spy Museum is taking me back to school tonight with an evening of entertaining and informative presentations on the specific gravity, surface area and pH Levels for creating the perfect cocktail. Guests will also enjoy complimentary hors d’oeuvres, hands-on demonstrations and a chance to sample signature drinks. “The Science Behind the Cocktail” is brought to you by Canadian Mist and hosted by The International Spy Museum.

The When: Thursday, September 30, 2010 from 6 to 8 PM.

Who Can Come?: This event is open to anyone 21 years of age or older. Space is limited and reservations can be made online at www.spymuseum.org or by calling (202) 654-0991.

The New Vintage Scavenger Hunt that was scheduled for this Saturday is CANCELLED. It will be rescheduled for next Spring. Stay tuned…
