The Whistler is excited to announce it’s first official cocktail party! On Monday, December 13th, at 6:00pm, head bartender Paul McGee will be stirring and shaking up a menu of over 30 cocktails from Charles H. Baker Jr.‘s inimitable cocktail trove, Jigger, Beaker & Glass.

Charles H. Baker Jr.‘s two volume culinary and cocktail guide, The Gentleman’s Companion, are documentation of Baker’s world travels in the name of the finest cuisine and cocktails available in the 1930s. Yachtsman, raconteur, drinking companion of Hemingway and Faulkner — Baker’s collection of recipes are as exotic and esoteric as the man himself. Around The World with Jigger, Beaker and Glass is Baker’s 1946 edition of his 1939 publication, The Gentleman’s Companion: Being an Exotic Drinking Book.

This cocktail party is the first in a new monthly series! Stay tuned for January’s theme…
