From the Garden to the Glass with Star Hodgson

Star Hodgson — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT

SoBou Restaurant
New Orleans,LA

On June 3rd, join mixologist Star Hodgson as she takes us through a stroll through the metaphoric garden. We’ll explore paths of seasonal inspiration, realistic usability, year-round planting and preservation, the quest for balance and recovering from pitfalls. We’ll enjoy a few cocktails inspired by the seasonal garden. “Living in New Orleans, we have a unique growing season and are able to harvest herbs, fruits and vegetables locally throughout the entire year,” says Star. “It keeps creating new cocktails inventive and fun when you work within what is in your backyard!”

This event is presented by the Museum of the American Cocktail, SoBou Restaurant, and the SoFAB Institute. Guests will enjoy bites from SoBou along with their delicious beverages. Be sure to purchase your tickets in advance–seating is limited and we can’t guarantee that there will be space for you at the door.

Registration is being handled by the Southern Food & Beverage Museum. You can access the signup page here: http://southernfood.org/sofab/?p=7343
