Botanical Cocktails
When most people think of ingredients for craft cocktails, they think of fruit and juice. But herbs should not be overlooked! Easy to grow at home and a delicious companion to spirits, this workshop is a garden party you won't want to miss. Join Odd Birds Bar owner (and cocktail maker extraordinaire) Cesar Diaz, for a hands-on demonstration that covers the basics of cocktail-making: muddling, straining, flavor pairings, and the use of shrubs, tinctures and mixers. Drinks will feature local honey from the hives of Southern Horticulture's resident bee expert Kim Robertson, and herb expert Maggie Ouellette and Southern Horticulture co-owner Jean Dowdy will be on hand to discuss the basics of growing herbs right in your own backyard.
Admission includes botanical cocktails in the garden, demonstrations and samplings, 3 specialty cocktail recipes, and two herb seedlings to plant at home.
