Allentown Cocktail Week Announced

City Center Lehigh Valley will be hosting the first ever Allentown Cocktail Week presented by Tito’s Handmade Vodka  from September 13^th to September 19^th.  The week-long event will include tastings, music, lectures, book signings, and ‘educational happy hours’ at downtown Allentown restaurants.  Organized by the new Lehigh Valley chapter of the US Bartenders’ Guild, the week will feature  two main events: A Pennsylvania craft spirit fair and the ‘Shakers Ball.”

The PA Craft Spirit Fair, taking place on Sunday, September 13^th, will feature a tasting session from over 12 craft distilleries across Pennsylvania paired with food from Allentown Restaurants and music from Allentown band The Yetis.  Tickets for the event are $30 and $20 for DDs and a portion of the proceeds from this event will go to benefit the Pennsylvania Distillers Guild.

The Shakers Ball, which will closed out the week on Saturday, September 19^th, will have a ‘bar food throwdown’ pitting local restaurants against one another as well as the “Iron Shaker Competition” which will have LV bartenders vying for the title of best cocktail.  Local band UUU will provide the music.  Tickets for the ball are $45 or $30 for DDs, and a portion of the proceeds goes to benefit the United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley.
