Genna’s 50th, Madison Cocktail Week, and Distill America 2015!! What a week!!
Whew!!! Just coming down from the super fun times that NessAlla had last week!! What a way to wrap up the month of February!! We kicked off the first official Madison Cocktail Week with a huge 50th birthday bash for one of Madison’s favorites- Genna’s Cocktail Lounge. Folks flocked in from miles away and nearby to celebrate the long success of Genna’s. A Service Industry Happy Hour sponsored by NessAlla and William Grant & Sons featured guest Rock Star bartenders Grant Hurless from Death’s Door Spirits, and Jeremy Bazely of Three Count Beverage. I joined in on the craft cocktailery and did some shaking and muddling and together the three of us crafted three awesome NessAlla kombucha cocktails featuring Tullamore Dew Whiskey, Montelobos Mezcal and Reyka Vodka mixed with fresh juices, handmade bitters and simple syrups. Revelers sipped on cocktails called “Kristi Tickles Me Pink”, “In A Pickle, Genna’s Will Do” and the “Post University Avenue Cosmo”. Stories of the 50 years of Genna’s were shared and thanks to the awesome party sounds by DJ Nick Nice dance floor got lots of action!! What an amazing, fun night!! Madison, WI’s first official Cocktail Week kicked off on Wednesday February 25
