Description

‘Bitter & Twisted is an enlivening two-hour experience focusing on the fascinating world of bitter flavors, where you can choose to create your own powerful plant tonic, or delicious aromatic bitters.

In this small-group setting, you’ll be introduced to a selection of common and unique botanicals that contribute to the bitter palate. Discover the importance of bitters in our daily diets and how they play a vital role in toning our digestion and supporting associated organs.

Engage in an organoleptic tasting, where you’ll learn to appreciate and identify the nuanced flavours of these botanicals. Following this immersive introduction, you’ll have the opportunity to create your own bitters blend—choose one tailored for health and well-being or create an aromatic bitters blend to enjoy before or after meals as a traditional digestif.

Join us for this unique journey into the world of flavour and well-being. Expand your palate and enhance your understanding of these powerful botanicals while enjoying the benefits of bitters in a fun and creative environment.

About your hosts: This special collaborative workshop is led by The Alembic’s Lab’s head distiller and aroma consultant, Jill Mulvaney and medical herbalist and ayurvedic practitioner Nicole Bostock.
