Parties, Pirates, Punch—and Rum! REMOTE CLASS

Generously Sponsored by The Grateful Dane Distillery

Celebrate the start of a new—and better—year and banish the cares of winter!

Let’s head to the balmy Caribbean for a generous pour of history and a virtual cocktail party.

We’ll start with a virtual tour of the Grateful Dane, Houston’s only legal rum distillery. Then Dr. Frederick Smith—archaeologist and rum historian—will be our guide and mixologist on an excursion through the history of rum, while he makes a delicious rum punch with you using a recipe from the 1600’s. Dr. Smith will introduce you to pirate lore, tell stories of buccaneers and scallywags and tales of punch-soaked British parties, and you’ll discover how rum altered history.

And if you choose, Archaeology Now will provide a box of curated ingredients, complete with a playlist of music and a recipe, so you can follow along, make your own rum punch at home, and transform your kitchen into a pirate lair
