On Monday, October 14th, Coolidge Corner mainstays Brookline Booksmith and Regal Beagle team up for an evening of dining and drinking – oh, and reading. Author, editor and all around drink expert Erica Duecy will be pairing cocktails plucked from the pages of her most recent work, Storied Sips: Evocative Cocktails for Everyday Escapes, with four courses from chef Stacy Cogswell. Each $70 ticket comes with a copy of the book which means you can thumb through the pages perusing recipes for iconic drinks even as you’re sipping them (don’t expect to try all forty, though – Cogswell and her team have pared the list down to their favorite four). Reserve tickets online and get there for cocktail hour starting at 6:00pm followed by dinner at 7:00pm.
