For the past ten years, Etiquetteer Robert B. Dimmick has led a celebration each December celebrating one of the more obscure aspects of the Gibson family’s residence at 137 Beacon Street: museum founder Charlie Gibson's use of the third-floor bathroom for the production of Prohibition-era gin.
While the pandemic prevents us from hosting an in-person party, the party is still going on! Just as in 2020, please join us via Zoom, on Friday, December 3, for Prohibition-era merriment, including a cocktail-mixing demonstration, Prohibition trivia, and an exclusive video tour of the Gibson House Red Study—a space too small to visit during typical Repeal celebrations. The evening will include an informal panel discussion hosted by Etiquetteer on the evolution of cocktail culture in the 21st century, featuring some beloved friends of Repeal: our own Kirsten “Miss Kitty” Amann, co-author of Drinking Like Ladies and Jeremy Cooper, co-author with Andrew Klausner of their three-volume series, Cocktail Hour Meets. . . .
All proceeds from this event will benefit the preservation of the Gibson House Museum, the only historic house museum in Boston's Back Bay.
