Spotlight on Dragonfly Spirits -

Exclusive Experience for SINHG Members

Dragonfly Cocktails and Spirits is coming out to the Seabrook Island Lake House for a fun and informative evening where you will learn how to prepare, mix and shake cocktails. Certified bartenders/instructors will share tips, tricks, and techniques as they guide you step-by-step through crafting and tasting four delicious cocktails using bourbon, gin, tequila and rum, while you learn the history and background of each of these spirits. At the end of the evening, you will get to take home the recipes and a special gift from Dragonfly.  Because the event is taking place here on Seabrook you won’t need to drive off the island and you can relax and enjoy the evening without worry with fellow Seabrookers.

• When to shake versus stir

• When and why to use a strainer

• When to serve with ice versus “straight up”

• What glassware to use for each cocktail and why

• Reason for adding bitters or liqueurs

This is sure to become one of the favorite events of the season.
