Over 3,000 guests decked out in "salty black tie" sipping 25,000 cocktails in the hallowed halls of the New York Public Library provided a festive kickoff to the 5th Annual Manhattan Cocktail Classic. Part fête, part festival, part conference and part educational endeavor — what the Classic really boils down to is 5 days of drinking. Though it is educational drinking, with over 100 seminars and events and some of the best mixologists and bartenders in our fair land. Our friends at Hangar 1 Vodka shared the recipes for the cocktails that they served at their "Craft In A Glass" Lounge at the gala.
