Join us Thursday, April 15th at 7PM for Boston.com's Cocktail Club with host Jackson Cannon and his special guest, Katie Hubbard. This week they'll be making cocktails with Sherry, the often misunderstood and always evocative wine of southern Spain, catching up about the Boston restaurant and bar scene and sharing tips the pros use to make great drinks at home. They'll be mixing a Sherry Collins and The Bamboo cocktail. Everything you'll need is listed below with a link to purchase your Boston.com Cocktail Club Sherry kit through Gordon's Fine Wine and Spirits.
Jackson Cannon is Boston.com Cocktail Club’s host and bar director for Eastern Standard and The Hawthorne. The veteran craft cocktail leader opened Eastern Standard in 2005 as Bar Manager, quickly cementing the neighborhood brasserie’s reputation as one of the country’s best bars, known for its attention to properly crafted cocktails and unwavering hospitality in a high-volume environment. The iconic, expansive program offering more than 60 classic and new creations secured national attention and earned Cannon “Bartender of the Year” award from Nightclub & Bar magazine in 2011. Cannon introduced the next iteration of his vision when he opened The Hawthorne, an experience centered in his commitment to thoughtfully crafted cocktails, continued cocktail/spirits education, and curating exceptional moments for guests. The Hawthorne has received numerous local and national accolades, including a semifinalist award for James Beard Foundation’s “Outstanding Bar Program” in 2014 and 2015, and winning Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Award for “Best Hotel Bar” in 2017. Cannon was a finalist for “Best Bar Mentor” at the 2013 and 2014 Spirited Awards and a 2014 Wine Enthusiast Wine Star Award nominee for “Mixologist/Brand Ambassador of the Year.”
Katie Hubbard is a Boston-based interdisciplinary artist and Bar Manager of Taberna de Haro and Straight Law Bar. 10 years deep in the hospitality industry, Katie fell in love with wine during her travels (remember when we could travel?), and specializes in new wave Sherry & Gin cocktails at Straight Law Bar. Her favorite thing about Jerez is the alcohol content. Just kidding, it's the mystery. Katie has recently been published in 86 Logic 'zine and Tinderbox Poetry Review and can now be found printing and binding her forthcoming chapbook, For Nothing, And No One, Not Even Myself.
