The Edison at Disney Springs is a great place to stop and great a drink any time, but for those looking for a journey through the history of drinks, they have a very special event just for you. The Edison will host “The Cocktail Archives: A Historic Perspective of Mixology” on Saturday, October 21.
- Is history dry? Sometimes. But not when you're experiencing it through expertly crafted cocktails.
- Let The Edison's mixologists take you on a centuries-long journey — from Victorian London through 21st century America.
- Each era's drink will be expertly paired with small bites to enhance the experience (and the spirits).
- Times change, but one thing remains the same: From absinthe to the Negroni, and from the old fashioned to the margarita, there's nothing quite like an exquisitely mixed cocktail.
- The Edison's mixologists are concocting eight incredible historically-inspired libation stations (plus a bonus station for VIP ticket holders).
- General admission will be $75 and guaranteed seating will be $90. You can get your tickets to the event here.
- The event will begin at 11:30 AM on Saturday, October 21.
