Summer Savory Farmers Market Cocktail Night
alicia walton
5:30 - 7:30 CUESA and the Northern California chapter of the United States Bartenders Guild (USBG) will host an evening of farmers market-inspired cocktails. For $33 attendees at this happy hour gathering will enjoy two full-sized signature drinks and taste 8 others crafted by renowned Bay Area bartenders using seasonal ingredients hand-picked from the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. Imbibe, snack, and take home recipes in the name of supporting local, sustainable agriculture and Bay Area cocktail culture.

Beyond the Bloody Mary and the dirty martini, we don't often see savory flavors in our cocktails. Yet, with the market bursting at the seams with tomatoes, corn, and peppers, this event will be dedicated to the savory flavors of summer. The eclectic array of spirits and the bounty of hot-weather harvest ensures that each drink will be distinct and memorable.
