The Berliner Olympic
In early August 1936, Jesse Owens became the first American track & field athlete to win four gold medals… much to the chagrin of that year’s Olympic hosts: Nazi Germany. Learn a few things about Owens you don’t know… then race your dinner guests to the liquor cabinet to mix a Berliner Olympic cocktail in Owens’ honor.
