Briny, Boozy, Bubbly Fun with Fermenting: Fruit Meads, Bubbly Sodas, and Tropical Cocktails (Online Workshop Series)
Shawn Shafner, artist, educator & Dänny Ronen mixologist and business owner Two-Part Program: Join us for the third and final installment of Briny, Boozy, Bubbly -- with a little extra booze! At the first session on August 14, we’ll expand our fermentation skills to beverages, making lightly alcoholic Summer Fruit Mead or non-alcoholic Bubbly Soda. Then come back August 21 for the Co Co Co, a rum-and-coconut cocktail that’ll have you sailing the high seas and coming back for more. Please note: An ingredient and supply list and related recipes for the program will be provided after registration. This program is offered in collaboration with the Friends of the U.S. Botanic Garden.

Have fun with fermenting in this briny, boozy, bubbly series of two-part workshops celebrating the magic of fermentation. Get a dose of history as Shawn guides you step-by-step in making fruit meads and bubbly sodas. When you come back a week later in part 2 of this program to taste test and troubleshoot, we’ll indulge in the tipsy side of fermentation with mixologist Dänny. Together, we'll meet the friendly microbes that help make gut-healthy ferments and craft cocktails, learn new recipes for seasonal produce and late-night sipping, and build community with other USBG online participants.
