The "Candy Corn Conjuring" was a big hit at Thursday's "Alchemy After Dark" mixology event. Now you can try it for yourself today & tomorrow (October 31st/November 1st).

Stop in & let Josh shake you up a little Halloween spirit featuring a candy corn-infused corn wh***ey, amaretto, lemon juice and an egg white (optional - but creates the beautiful foam and silky texture!) - finished with a mist of limoncello.

Does a mixology event sound like something you'd like to try? Learn to create 3 cocktails, paired with 3 delicious small plates and lots of laughs. Keep an eye out for tickets to our next mixology event being held on November 19th.
