Song & Tonic is a guided tasting experience that pairs craft cocktails with music. We tell our story by deconstructing both song and cocktail, connecting the stories of both, and then finally enjoying the pairing simultaneously, as all the pieces come together in harmony.
__________
The story of the cocktail is very much an American one, and American-made whiskey plays a vital role in this story. For this guided tasting experience, we'll take three classic whiskey cocktails that have made an impact on history, and pair each one with a song inspired by the cocktail’s style, flavors, and its place in American history.
Our tasting journey will begin at the advent of the cocktail explosion in America in the 1800s, through the underground Jazz Age of Prohibition, and the swing of the post-Prohibition era, finally ending up in today’s new Golden Age of Cocktails.
Our menu makes suggestion for ingredients to have on hand for our tasting.
