Lamiaceae, commonly known as the mint family, contains over 7,000 species found around the globe. Many of the species contain distinctive medicinal and flavor properties that humans have been utilizing for centuries. In addition to providing the flair in such classic cocktails as the mojito and the mint julep, members of the family like lemon balm, hyssop, lavender, and marjoram are often secret ingredients in the production of historic spirits. Join us on a unique sensory adventure as we smell, touch and, yes, drink, samples in a discussion of this important botanical family. Please note: Program is intended for those 21 years of age and older. Small bites and beverage samples will be provided. Doors open at 6 p.m.
