For those of you who thought punch bowls were just a kitschy artifact from the set of Mad Men, think again. Rum punches are back, thanks to mixologists like Phil Ward (Mayahuel). On Monday, July 6, Ward teaches a class on creating concoctions with Flor de Cana rum at Astor Center (6:30–8:30 PM; $45 per person; 399 Lafayette St., call 212-674-7501 or click here to reserve).
