The distinct flavor of every liquor is shaped by the society and traditions that produced it. Likewise, our background and cultural heritage makes each of us unique. And just as we revel in the variety of tastes that spirits have to offer, there is a wealth of experience to be found in the diversity of human cultures.
Please join Torch Community for our Spirits of Diversity event on Thursday, Mar. 3, where we’ll dive into the world of spirits — both human and alcoholic.
Our guides on this journey are Ira Koplowitz and Nick Kosevich, the cocktail mixologists collectively known as Bittercube. They’ll be teaching us about the importance of a liquor’s background and history, how to taste spirits properly and how to become cocktail connoisseurs. Along the way, we’ll discuss how our backgrounds and cultures provide an animating force throughout our lives.
The evening’s keynote speaker will be Philomena Morrissey Satre, Vice-President of Diversity and Inclusion at Wells Fargo.
