Winter Cocktails with the Trace

A Virtual Cocktail Demonstration

Winter Cocktails with the Trace

Please join us as we craft some winter cocktails that are sure to keep you cozy! We invite you to join us from your home or wherever you are by tuning in with @Buffalo Trace Distillery on Facebook or Instagram at 6:30pm EST on Friday, February 12. We will be mixing up a Valentine’s Day Cocktail, the Buffalo Sour, here at the Distillery. Then, we will send it down to our sister property, The Sazerac House, located in New Orleans, Louisiana, to mix up a Mardi Gras tradition, Bourbon Milk Punch. Tim Knittel, professional Bourbon Educator, of Distilled Living, located in Lexington KY, will enlighten our senses with cheese and chocolate pairings designed specifically for our featured cocktails. You don’t want to miss this special presentation or the opportunity to share these creations and pairings with your friends and family this winter season.
