Love a refreshing and effervescent Spritz? Or perhaps you'd call yourself more of a Martini lover but you're abstaining from alcohol. Whether you're enjoying the alcohol-free life temporarily, permanently, or just incorporating it more regularly into your routine, join us for a tasting of classic cocktails made without the booze.

Acclaimed mixologist and owner of Drink.Well, Jessica Sanders will be mixing up a flight of four mouth-watering and non-alcoholic drinks: a Spritz, Martini, Negroni, and Highball. Kendall Antonelli, Certified Cheese Professional and owner of Antonelli's Cheese, will pair cheeses with each drink, showcasing the range of tastes (sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami) and how the cheeses can highlight different flavors in the cocktails. Together, Sanders and Antonelli will guide guests through a seated tasting, exploring various themes in the world of crafting zero-proof cocktails and cheese pairing.

Each Ticket = 1 Person and includes a guided, seated tasting of:

4 Zero-Proof Cocktails
7 Cheeses
7 Food Pairing Bites
Additional sundries like bread, olives, and corn nuts

100% of profits will go to Les Dames d'Escoffier Austin, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting the work of exceptional women working in the culinary, beverage, and hospitality industries. Beverages will feature an array of premium non-alc products including Ritual, Seedlip, El Guapo, All The Bitter, St. Cecilia Soda and more! Many of these fantastic brands are Dames owned, managed or supported.

Both Sanders and Antonelli are members of Les Dames d'Escoffier Austin and Fellows of the James Beard Women's Leadership Program.

Note: While there will be no alcohol served at this event, there are bottles of wine on display in the Antonelli's Tasting Room. This is the only storage for wine in the facility.
