GARDEN TO GLASS:
Herbaceous Cocktails
Shaken, Stirred and Spritzed

Join local mixologist Beth Dixon as she infuses three classic drinks with a garden-fresh twist! Come prepared to ask questions, connect with your fellow foodies, and treat your taste buds. As Beth showcases how to incorporate flavors plucked straight from the herb garden, you’ll learn expert techniques for kicking your mixology up a notch. You’ll also enjoy a glass of each cocktail, finding pairing inspiration with three courses of plates designed to play perfectly with the drinks’ refreshing, aromatic tasting notes.

Shaken: A maple bourbon sour with sage introduces warm, woodsy subtleties to a traditional balance of sweet, sour, and spirited.
Stirred: A gin old fashioned with rosemary marries spirit-forward freshness with assertive, evergreen aromas.
Spritzed: Finish the night on a light note – a limoncello spritz with thyme finds a delightful balance of floral flavors punctuated with bright, citrusy bubbles.
