Creator of one of the top 50 drinks of the Century (Bride Magazine) and nominated as a James Beard Mixologist of the Year, Lori Kudelski, will bring her magic to the Essex Inn on the Adirondack Coast on June 9, 10 & 11.

Also recognized by Adirondack Life, Travel Channel, CBS Watch Magazine, and Air Canada’s inflight travel magazine, Lori, currently the head bartender at the Lake Placid Lodge, will offer a mixology class at the Essex Inn on Saturday, June 11, 4:00 to 5:00 pm.  The class is $40, or free to those dining and/or staying at the Inn that evening.

“I will teach participants some of the tricks of the trade.  It will be fun and a great opportunity to learn,” said Lori.

“We are thrilled to bring Lori to Essex for the weekend of June 9-11,” said Essex Inn owner Karen Dalton. “Throughout the weekend, Chef Jonathan’s entrees can be paired with Lori’s hand crafted cocktails.  It’s a perfect way to kick off the summer.”
