A summer season full of mixed up fun gets underway Saturday, June 11 at Columbia Firehouse – and this time around, it's all about DIY drinks, top to bottom. Sure, you can probably shake a passable martini for a pal, but can you craft your own brand of syrups and other essential ingredients? Come learn to impress with the best and spend an afternoon at the Firehouse for a fun, in-depth tutorial on all things crafty with resident mixmaster Steve Warner.
Don't fret, it’s not all bunsen burners and beakers – we’ll certainly imbibe a bit and once school's out, and head outside to witness Steve demo Smoked Maple Syrup on the patio as our crew passes around Grilled Chicken Skewers and Sazeracs.
