The Man with the Golden Amaretto Set for Early February, 2025, at Colvin House
The CLHOF’s fifth annual literary cocktail party is set for Saturday, February 8, 2025. The Man with the Golden Amaretto gives us lots of fun options to dress up in the fashion of Nelson Algren-era characters. For the second straight year, we’ll be at the lovely Colvin House (5940 N. Sheridan Chicago, IL 60660), which includes a speakeasy basement. That’s likely to be turned into a gambling den of some sort for the occasion. This party includes appetizers, desserts, and three unique cocktails, plus lessons on drink mixing and cocktail history, literary readings, and more. Mostly a party, though. Registration will officially open in a few days. Until then, you can secure your place by emailing Don Evans. Cost for the fundraiser is $125.
