One of the world’s most iconic symbols has its roots in Worcester – the Smiley Face was first created as part of a moral boosting campaign for a local insurance company. This year marks the 50th anniversary of its introduction, and to celebrate the Worcester Historical Museum  is incorporating that recognizable symbol into their annual “Harvey Ball” in an exciting and delicious way.

The Museum has enlisted Niche Hospitality, home to Worcester’s foremost talent in the craft cocktail movement, to construct cocktails inspired by the Smiley Face’s 50th anniversary and make them available the night of the event.

Volunteers from the Harvey Ball committee joined mixologist, Anthony Verdini, at the Citizen Wine Bar to taste several preliminary cocktails. From these cocktails—created with some of the finest liquors, craft garnishes, and traditional techniques — two were chosen by the committee to be served at the gala. The third libation will be decided with the help of the public so…. go to the Citizen Wine Bar and order one of these great drinks and help decide the winner. Tell WorcesterScene what your favorite drink is. Comments (along with “likes” and “shares”) will be tallied from the cocktail profiles, Facebook page, and Twitter profiles.
