CCftA Cocktail Corner with Ira: The Paloma Cocktail
|
With Cinco de Mayo celebrations going on this week I decided to feature
The Paloma
, a cocktail that originated in Mexico and made with Mexico’s most popular liquor, Tequila.
You will need:
- 1 large Red or Pink Grapefruit
- 1½ oz of 100% Blue Agave tequila Blanco or Resposado
- 1 tbl. of agave nectar
- Fresh lime
- Club soda or Seltzer
Juice the grapefruit, squeezing it into a bowl and strain, if you like the pulp, leave it in. The grapefruit should yield ¾ cups. Add the Agave nectar to the juice. Cut the lime in half and squeeze half of the lime into the mix. Stir all ingredients. Fill a highball glass with ice, and add the tequila. Take the grapefruit mixture, pour it into the glass, top with soda water and stir. For those who prefer a mock-tail, leave out the tequila. Enjoy!

The Gallery is awash with BLUES: artworks inspired by blues music, blue color, or blue mood…the spectrum is as wide as the creativity of the artists. More than 125 works of art were hung just before the COVID-19 crisis. When our doors open, we look forward to welcoming the public. Meanwhile you may view the works of art by visiting our Facebook gallery by clicking the link below.

View Highlights from Past Productions
|
|
While the Center is closed, executive director David Kuehn will be uploading video clips of some of his favorite moments from past productions on the main stage.
We realize the sound and video quality is not great - we record our performances for archival and educational purposes only -
but it will give you a chance to come back regularly, check out some of the numbers from shows you saw and loved in the past, or that you missed. You're welcome!

Though our doors are closed for the time being, in an effort to help our neighbors affected by the COVID-19 crisis, the Center's
Little Free Library
has been converted into a Little Free Pantry. Take what you need, and if you can, please donate what you can spare! And while you're at it, you can leave a message on our chalk wall, letting everyone know how important art is to you! Bring your own chalk or use ours
—
but please come. It's easy to follow social distancing guidelines. The library is located just to the right of the main theater building.
