Lady Leap Year Cocktails of the Farmers Market
Wednesday, February 29, 2012 - 5:30pm - 8:00pm
CUESA and the Northern California chapter of the United States Bartenders Guild (USBG) kick off the 2012 Cocktails of the Farmers Market series with an all-female lineup of star bartenders for "Lady Leap Year." The theme is a nod to a folk tradition from the early 20th Century, when women were encouraged to propose marriage during leap years. We can't promise anyone will pop the question, but we know it will be a most engaging night as guests enjoy 2 full-sized signature cocktails made with VeeV Açaí Spirit, and FAIR. Quinoa Vodka, 10 sample-sized drinks featuring Laphroaig Quarter Cask, Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur, Templeton Rye, La Pinta Pomegranate Tequila, Karlsson's Gold Vodka, Oxley Gin, Gentleman Jack, pür•likör Blossom Elderflower Liqueur, Hangar One Wild Mint Blueberry Vodka, and bite-sized snacks - all featuring fresh farmers market produce.
