Herbal Mixology
Monthly Thursdays, January through April.
Back by popular demand! This four-part series focuses on blending botanicals into tasty tonics. Melding the ancient world of botanical medicine with that of the modern bar mixologist, this class develops a flavorful and healing balance between the nasty tasting tinctures of the past and cocktails loaded with sugar at your local bar. All sessions include lecture and hands-on components, and participants will leave with samples and recipes to take home. Register for the full, 12-hour series and earn a mixology microcredential! You can also register for classes individually: Hot Toddies on Jan. 24, Bitters on Feb. 21, Liqueurs + Cordials on March 21, or Herbal Root Beers on April 25. This series has sold out. Please check back for future classes!
Forest Park Hikes
