Description
I team up with Karina Hines at her place in Waltham (featuring SegoDesigned terrace gardens) for a botanically-infused, cocktail-creating summer evening. On Wednesday, June 11 from 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm, Karina will host us for a 2-hour workshop full of botanicals and imbibement.
I will cover plant identification, including the herbs that work best for instant flavor and those that require some coaxing. Karina will walk you through the bartender technique. And we’ll leave you with a bar-card to take home; a road map for inspired future concoctions.
