Join Tad Carducci & Steve Olson as they explore the wonderful, yet underestimated, or even misunderstood, world of Amari.  Recently returning to popularity, these unique and traditional elixirs actually date back many years, with roots in medicine, religion and even the culinary arts.  We will taste and learn about some cool drinking rituals, explore their versatility in cocktails, and learn about their remarkable appeal for Après too.

The Gin Renaissance
