The cocktail revolution continues with the Philadelphia Charity Cocktail Social, taking place four Monday nights in March, April and May, starting March 24. Top bartenders in the city will visit bars other than their own in a “cocktail exchange program.” Half of the proceeds from the featured drinks they pour — at $8 a pop — will go to support Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign.

The mixologists include Phoebe Esmon and Christian Gaal ofEmmanuelle (1052 N. Hancock St.), Michelle Curtis of Lemon Hill (747 N. 25^th St.), Michael Treffehn of The Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co. (112 S. 18^th St.)and Vince Stipo ofVernick Food & Drink (2031 Walnut St.)
