This year, our holiday wish is for environmentally conscious warmth, comfort and joy sipping ECO Toddies, Nogs, Hot Buttered Rum, Mulled Wine and more green friendly libations. For this green inspired seasonal event, we ask mixologists, chefs, and all those wrapped in the RECYCLED, RECOVERED and RE-PURPOSED spirit of the season to craft a warm holiday cocktail or nibble, as only the most green-gifted souls can do. Our guests will meet you and enjoy desserts, drinks and other delights from the area’s best restaurants to warm the spirit and offer good cheer, as we raise a glass to toast the season.
