Pencil This In: Fountainhead Kisses And Corsets Journeyman Release Party

By Melissa Wiley in Food on Jul 17, 2014 5:40PM

Who doesn’t like a little kissing with their whiskey? Tonight Fountainhead hosts its Kisses and Corsets Journeyman Release Party, when the Kiss Kiss Coquettes will lend some burlesque swagger to the popular North Center restaurant's roof as part of the Chicago debut of Journeyman's new "Kissing Cousins" whiskey. In addition, cocktails featuring the new hooch will be available for $10 to $12, while the regular rooftop menu will stay the same.

The free event begins at 6 p.m. with the release of Kissing Cousins Whiskey set to rockabilly to loosen the girls' girdles. At 7, sip on gratis samples of Kissing Cousins and Corsets, Whips and Whiskey while the cabaret continues to the sounds of Velvet Underground. The industry hang-out then begins at 8, when you can mix and mingle with Journeyman distillers and talk some boozy shop.

Fountainhead is located at 1970 W Montrose Ave.
