Pairing wine with dinner is a classic combination, and beer pairings are becoming more and more popular as we see an increase in microbreweries specializing in craft beers that are produced to offer unique and nuanced flavors instead of just a cheap buzz.  However, if you are like me and love a well made cocktail that is not only tasty but unique and interesting, then you should make a date with Chef Matthieu Godard and Sommelier Christopher Lindemann at DB Bistro Moderne tomorrow evening for their luxury spirits dinner.  Along with a luscious French-inspired four course dinner by Chef Godard, diners and cocktail enthusiasts will be able to savor some creative concoctions utilizing spirits that aren't generally well-known in South Florida, such as Noelet gin and Kappa pisco.  The evening's menu is as follows:

FIRST COURSE

Avocado, Passion Fruit, Watermelon, Radish, Plantain Chips, Cilantro

Jose Cuervo Tradicional Reposado Fuego Tropical
Passion Fruit Purée, Habanero Simple Syrup, Cilantro
