From the garden to your glass, discover the power of flowers at Fernbank After Dark: Booze and Botanicals on April 12 from 7 –11 p.m. Look forward to exploring the intoxicating uses of botanicals, special exhibits and more.
As the flowers start blooming throughout Atlanta, what better way to celebrate the spring than to learn about how certain flowers and herbs are used in the creation of some of our favorite spirits and cocktails. We will have a wide variety of signature cocktails available for purchase as well as delicious pairing appetizers.
We have chosen a few cocktails to highlight as their botanical ingredients will tantalize your tastebuds:
Wild Hibiscus Cosmo
The Wild hibiscus Cosmo gives a slight floral twist to an old-time favorite. Our cocktail is made with the award-winning Old Fourth Distillery Vodka combined with orange, cranberry, lime and hibiscus to give it a subtly sweet taste coupled with a bit of a tang from the lime.
Elderflower Margarita
The Elderflower Margarita is a sweet and citrusy drink which makes it perfect for springtime. The ingredients include tequila, elderflower and lime.
We have various cocktails to choose from as well as select wines, spirits and beers. All drinks will be available for purchase.
Don’t worry, we have so much more to enjoy!
