Spirits: An American Original
Fort Mason Center | Included with Taste Pavilions Ticket: $45 - 65 | Saturday, August 30; 11am – 3pm; 5pm – 9pm | Sunday, August 31; 11am – 3pm; 5pm – 9pm
The cocktail is a distinctly American tradition. Once the centerpiece of a thriving “cocktail culture,” it has faded since the 1950s but is now being embraced by a new generation of makers and mixologists who value quality and craft. The Spirits Pavilion explored seasonality, sustainability and craftsmanship as rising practices in the spirits industry. Local bartenders renowned for their creativity and expertise served up samples of award-winning, American-made spirits and cocktails mixed with fresh fruit, juices and herbs - an experience we hope nobody forgot.
