Herbal Refreshments: Holiday Mocktails & Botanical Spirits

Sunday, December 7, 2025

2:00 pm-4:00 pm

Instructor: Lauren Tanner

Sip, savor, and celebrate the season! Join us for a festive, hands-on workshop exploring the art of crafting herbal beverages with a holiday twist. You’ll enjoy four to five unique tastings featuring botanical mocktails, cocktails, and seasonal herbal infusions. We’ll blend creativity and flavor as you experiment with herbal syrups, infusions, and garnishes—learning how to make beautiful, plant-powered drinks that sparkle with festive cheer. You’ll also sample herb-infused bar snacks and take home inspired recipes to recreate the experience at your next gathering. Whether you’re a plant lover, a home entertainer, or simply looking for new ways to celebrate the season, you’ll leave refreshed, inspired, and ready to toast with botanicals.

Lauren will also provide an herbal market by Everyday Herbals to purchase handcrafted herbal support, culinary creations & body care.

Registration includes admission to the beautiful gardens before or after class.
