Schedule of Events
Thursday, September 24@ 4:00 PM | Cocktails with Dr. Rhiannon Paget | Virtual Program
We invite you to relax and unwind at the end of your day with Dr. Rhiannon Paget, Curator of Asian Art. Join us for a casual conversation on circus culture in Japan as depicted in prints from The Ringling’s collection.
Our cocktail pairing suggestion is the Umeshu highball. Umeshu is a Japanese liqueur made from green fruits of Prunus mume (Japanese plum or apricot) aged in alcohol. Fragrant and complex, it goes beautifully on the rocks or in mixed drinks. Whisky gives a bit of oomph and tones down the sweetness, while soda makes this a refreshing drink for a warm afternoon.
This event is by invitation only. RSVP information will be available at a later date.
