A ‘Mixer’ with Michelin 3 Star Mixologist Brian Van Flanderin

in Parties/Events



Lani Hay, CEO of Lanmark Technology, is known for throwing some impressive mixers.  Adding a Michelin 3 Star Mixologist into the mix might have made her the mix master.

Last week, Hay hosted a private reception at her home to introduce world renowned cocktail crafter/author Brian Van Flanderin (below right) to some local notables in collaboration with DC Magazine (Editor in Chief Karen Sommer Shalett pouring at right).

Around the table were also Prosper and Martine Assouline, publishers of the new “Vintage Cocktails” volume from which attendees fixed their own drinks under Flandarin’s direction.
