Honey is a product of summer. In winter, the bees all cuddle up and huddle/wiggle their way through the long cold winter. Good beekeepers leave enough honey in the hive to fuel their entire winters dance (bad ones substitute GMO corn syrup, but don't get me going in that direction). One of the most thoughtful and conscientious beekeepers in the country is Todd Hardie of Barr Hill Farm and Caledonia Spirits. He's my favorite beekeeper though, because he's the only guy I know who turns his organic and natural honey into Gin and Vodka. Now THAT's my kind of beekeeper! What's more the product (gin especially) is completely fantastically wonderful and unique.
Todd himself will be here sampling his Gin and Vodka. We'll be making it into cocktails and he'll also bring some of the best honey you have EVER tasted. When you meet him, you will see that he is the kind and gentle sort that you would expect a beekeeper to be. We are just the kind of decadent rogues to shake or stir his gentle products into ROCKING cocktails. The Bees Knees, as you might imagine, is unlike any other and a Straight-Up Gin Martini is ethereal.
With Todd's excellent spirits, we will have our final Lobster Bake of the summer, replete with lobster rolls, lobster bisque, lobster mac-and-cheese, whole lobsters and lots of other lobstery goodness! Todd's honey makes a fantastic dessert with black mission figs, and Tahitian vanilla ice cream. Todd will be sampling Gin, Vodka and Honey and we'll have several cocktails, including the Bee's Knees and Small Gin Martini's for $6. We're seating from 4 until 9 PM. Make reservations by calling 732-828-4444.
