Sip of History delves into South Florida’s past and present through moderated conversation with artists, activists, and community stakeholders from a variety of disciplines. Hosted by a HistoryMiami staff, each conversation will explore a different topic centered on the diverse stories of our local communities. Each conversation will be paired with a Miami inspired cocktail for participants to try at home.

Join Gabriel Urrutia, author and mixologist, in conversation with Angel Gomez, founder and owner of Tremendo Garnish, as they bring you stories behind the origins and names of their favorite spirits. Watch them mix each drink live and learn how every great cocktail has a story to tell.
