Sustainable Sips: Herbal Mixology and Upcycled Alchemy
Advertisement
Join us for an afternoon where sustainability meets sophisticated flavor. In this hands-on workshop, we redefine the "mocktail" by exploring the art of zero-proof mixology through a zero-waste lens.
You’ll learn to craft complex, adult beverages that respect both your body and the planet. We’ll move beyond sugary juices to discover how "scraps"—like herb stems, citrus rinds, and fruit pits—can be transformed into potent elixirs and elegant garnishes.
What You’ll Master:
Root-to-Rim Techniques: Creating "trash" syrups and oleo-saccharums from discarded citrus peels.
Botanical Complexity: Building depth using vinegars, shrubs, and cold-brew extractions.
Circular Garnishing: Dehydrating and preserving seasonal elements to ensure nothing hits the bin.
The Art of the Pour: Mastering the balance of acidity, sweetness, and bitterness without the ethanol.
Secure Your Place To ensure an intimate and curated experience for every guest, capacity for this masterclass is strictly limited. We invite you to secure your place at the bar by pre-registering today. Reserve your spot now to join us in this exploration of mindful consumption and circular craft.
Moving into 2026, my primary goal is to ensure these workshops are as inclusive and welcoming as possible for our entire community. I believe that financial barriers should never stand in the way of growth and connection, which is why I am introducing a sliding fee scale ranging from $25 to $35. This flexible pricing model allows participants to choose the contribution level that best aligns with their current circumstances, ensuring that our shared space remains diverse, accessible, and centered on mutual support.
