The Ohio Spirit Tasting will feature OYO Stonefruit Vodka, Watershed Distillery Bourbon Barrel Gin and Watershed Nocino black walnut liqueur, and Belle of Dayton Gin. Each spirit will be tasted and discussed by Bar Manager Amber Brady. Brady will then showcase the spirits in sample craft cocktails.
"I'm really excited about our 'Oaxacan Winter' cocktail -- it uses tequila, mezcal, fresh lemon, pear liqueur, and Watershed's black walnut Nocino made in Columbus. It's an unexpected combination, but ends up working together in a really unique way," Brady said.
Lily's will also be sampling their 'About Thyme' cocktail featuring Belle of Dayton gin, which Brady won first prize with at the Dayton Visual Art Center's "Artful Cocktail" contest. Brady will talk about the art of crafting a cocktail to highlight each spirits unique flavor profile and is in the process of creating some additional cocktails for the special event.
A small plate prepared by Lily’s Bistro’s Chef Amy Finch will accompany each spirit tasting and cocktail sample.
Cost is $39 per ticket and includes tax and tip. You can purchase tickets at Eventbrite or at Lily's Bistro, 329 E. 5th St., Dayton.
