Eight local and Ohio-based distilleries will be featured at the North Market’s Mix and Shake spirits event on Feb. 20.
The event, held in collaboration with the Ohio Distillers Guild, features a variety of activities
throughout the evening, such as a cocktail mixing demo/class, music by the Derek DiCenzo Trio, and Six in the City, six word memoirs with founder Larry Smith. Spirits will be served by the distillers themselves, and guests will have the opportunity to meet them.
The event is held 8-11 p.m. and is open to those 21 and older. VIP guests will be able to arrive at 7:30 p.m. and receive a swag bag with gifts from the distilleries and sponsors.
General admission tickets are $45 and VIP tickets are $70. All guests will be given 20 drink tickets, a souvenir glass, a home cocktail recipe guide, tastes from eight North Market merchants, and more. Cocktails will be served for four tickets each and a half-ounce of spirits will be served for two tickets each. Additional tickets will be sold for $2 per ticket.
Parking will be offered for $10 to general admission guests. Yellow Cab is offering $10 off rides to and/or from the event if you mention “mands2016.” You can book through its website at www.yellowcabofcolumbus.com or on its smartphone app.
