A Sip of History, a Dash of Fun
Long before craft cocktails and artisanal kitchens made bitters a must-have, these intriguing herbal extracts were Southern staples, lovingly crafted from roots, spices, and herbs. At Agape Farm South, we're bringing this flavorful tradition roaring back, one playful drop at a time.
An Adventure in Every Drop
Bitters aren’t just about bitterness; they’re a playground of unexpected flavors! Imagine the zing of fresh citrus peel, the warmth of cinnamon, the deep mystery of smoky cacao, or the playful bite of ginger. You’ll experiment with exciting ingredients like juniper, allspice, bergamot, and gentian, crafting a blend that perfectly matches your own taste, sweet, spicy, floral, or bold!
Workshop Fun – What to Expect:
This one-hour, hands-on workshop is a lively mix of storytelling, sensory exploration, and creative crafting. You’ll sniff, swirl, sample, and blend your way through herbal ingredients, learning how just a tiny dash can totally transform your drinks and dishes.
No herbal or culinary experience? Perfect! Our workshop is welcoming, fun, and designed for everyone, from curious beginners to seasoned flavor enthusiasts.
Bitters are Back (and Cooler than Ever!)
Today, bitters are the secret ingredient mixologists, chefs, and wellness lovers can’t live without. They bring depth and excitement to cocktails, sparkling waters, marinades, stews, even desserts! Join the growing community of flavor adventurers embracing bitters as their new kitchen and bar staple.
