The Flavor Lab

July 18 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Promotional banner for Sidewinder Spirits' Flavor Lab workshop exploring syrups, tinctures, extracts, and flavor creation techniques

Flavor is at the heart of everything we enjoy—whether it’s a memorable cocktail, a perfectly balanced sauce, a refreshing summer beverage, or an unforgettable dessert. Join us for an immersive exploration of syrups, tinctures, extracts, oleo saccharums, and other techniques used to capture, preserve, and enhance flavor in both the bar and the kitchen.

Through demonstrations, tastings, and practical examples, we’ll explore a variety of methods for extracting flavor from fruits, herbs, spices, and botanicals. Learn how different approaches—from traditional simmered syrups to sous vide infusions and concentrated extracts—can create dramatically different results. We’ll discuss how these ingredients can be used in cocktails, mocktails, sodas, teas, desserts, marinades, sauces, and other culinary creations.

Whether you’re a cocktail enthusiast, passionate home cook, gardener looking for new ways to use seasonal ingredients, or simply curious about the science of flavor, this hands-on class will provide plenty of inspiration and practical techniques you can use at home.

Tickets will become available in mid-June. Seating is limited to ensure an intimate and interactive experience.
