An introduction into the intersection of foraging and cocktails. Wild crafted beverages don't need to be complicated, and are an amazing way to pair your drink to your adventures in the outdoors.
We'll start with a 'bar-focused' foraging walk, identifying the kinds of plants that can easily build your bar. We'll then dive into tinctures, syrups, and the liqueurs that those can make. Sounds complicated, but it's not hard and there are loads of easy wins to keep you motivated to keep at it.
We'll then mix some classics with foraged ingredients to build up your repetoire and confidence.
Casual camp snacks and field lunch will be provided as we learn.
Zero cocktail experience required.
Wild Mixology 101
TIME - 10am - 1pm
WHAT TO EXPECT - Meet up in the boreal at our wall tent basecamp. With a foraged tea in hand, we'll dive right into botanicals and the role they play in the camp and home bar. You'll be learning outdoors in our camp kitchens, and dining in the forest with other like minded folks.
Do take notes, and you're welcome to take lots of pictures - there will be a lot of information to absorb.
NOTE - our basecamp location is actually in a large forest, and we will be doing a fair bit of hiking through the bush in very undulating terrain. If you have concerns or questions about your ability to participate, please do contact us prior to buying a spot.
Full details provided by email prior to the event.
CANCELLATION POLICY - we'll happily offer a full refund if you really need to cancel up to two weeks in advance. Under two weeks, and we cannot provide a refund but can offer for you to join us at a future similar event.
