The green goddess has risen to hipness in recent times, providing all the more reason to take a lesson (and tastes) from the experts. And it’s quite a lineup: Seattleite Robert Hess, the founder of the American Cocktail Museum, Gwydion Stone, who makes Marteau absinthe, and Marc Bernard, of Pacific Distillery’s Pacifique absinthes. This casual event promises history, samples, small plates from the Hunt Club’s kitchen, as well as French cabaret performances.Sunday, March 7, 7-10 p.m.An Absinthe SoireeThe Sorrento Hotel, The Hunt Club, Fireside Room, 900 Madison St., 622-6400. $20 tickets at brownpapertickets.com.
