BUCYRUS - While the Bucyrus Bicentennial Commission s 10-foot-long bratwurst sandwich is getting dressed for its big debut on May 1, how about a few drinks?
The commission will offer a mixology class later this month, sponsored by the Bucyrus Underground Speakeasy and Templeton Distillery of Templeton, Iowa, said Kelli Patterson, commission chairman.
Templeton Rye was a popular whiskey in the Prohibition-era, Patterson said, so a member of the Bicentennial Commission reached out to a company representative. He s very excited about the fact that Bucyrus actually has a speakeasy, she said.
A Templeton and speakeasy collaboration
Ultimately, the speakeasy and Templeton agreed to collaborate on sponsoring a mixology class, which will be offered via Zoom at 5 p.m. Saturday, March 27. Participants will learn how to make three cocktails Midway to Manhattan, Old-Fashioned Bucyrus and Mobster Mule.
