A Blast from the Past: The Fern Bar Era
Take a step back in time to the 1970s and ’80s, when sweet, slushy drinks reigned supreme. Martin Cate, expert mixologist from Smuggler’s Cove in San Francisco, shares the history behind this era of cocktails, dubbed the Fern Bar era. In his demonstration, he showcases a classic Fern Bar cocktail – the Harvey Wallbanger.
