Victorian author Charles Dickens profoundly shaped how Christmas is celebrated today. At the final Drink Your History event of 2026, Wornall/Majors House Museums celebrates the cocktails that filled his stories—from Smoking Bishop (a mulled wine punch) to Sangaree (a gin-port float)—with many tastes to enjoy during this festive evening. Sip and savor while listening to a lively Dickens drink history talk from Curator Sarah Bader-King.
Join us at Alexander Majors House Museum on Friday, December 4, from 5:30–7:30 p.m. Tickets: $30 (or $75 for the full series) at wornallmajors.org/events.
