The Stookey's Club Moderne July Newsletter
It's July and welcome to the heat of Summer! This is a lovely time in San Francisco as the days are long but the afternoon winds cool us down right in time for cocktail hour. We are excited to embrace the season with a Stookey's selection of refreshing libations! Swing on in and take a load off!
We are already looking forward to the
34th Annual Gatsby Summer Afternoon
coming up
September 9th, 2018
! The picnic, which is sponsored by the Art Deco Society of California, will be featuring the Decobelles dance troupe, the Century Sisters and Don Neely's Royal Society Jazz Orchestra.
Stookey's At Your Service
(our beverage catering service) will be proudly serving refreshing Summer cocktails all afternoon.
Located at the Dunsmuir Hellman Historic Estate in Oakland (near the Oakland Zoo), Gatsby is a great time to dress in classic '20s-'30s Summer picnic attire, and enjoy the sounds of the Royal Society Jazz Orchestra! Wouldn't miss it for the world!

Doug Woods Spins 78s - Sundays
Our good friend, Doug Woods, brings his 78 records and spins them on our in-house Victrola every Sunday!
Sundays, 7:00pm -

It's a great chance to hear the music as it was played in the 1930s and 40's and catch him in the act of changing needles and winding the player. Don't forget to add a contribution to his

This cocktail was made popular in the 1920's in New York. Named for the Algonquin Hotel located in Midtown Manhattan, it was said that the drink was enjoyed by the City's distinguished artists, actors, writers, musicians who were known to congregate at the Algonquin and discuss literature, politics and the gossip of the intelligentcia of the day. They liked it and we think you will too!
Recipe:
1.5 oz. Barbancourt Rhum
½ oz. Creme de Mure
½ oz. Bénédictine
3/4 oz. Lime Juice
1 Bar Spoon Simple Syrup
Measure and add ingredients into a cocktail shaker. Add ice. Shake vigorously 20 seconds. Double strain (using cocktail "hawthorne" strainer plus a tea strainer) into coupe glass.
Garnish cocktail with a lime wedge.
