Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating Chicago’s finest locally distilled spirits at the historic McCormick House. This sensory cocktail experience is designed to highlight the artistry of local distillers while immersing guests in a night of flavor, craftsmanship, and connection.
Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed with a Blueberry Southside, a refreshing nod to a classic cocktail infused with local flair. As you sip and mingle within the iconic mid-century modern surroundings, you’ll experience the essence of Chicago’s craft distilling scene—each spirit telling a story of innovation and tradition.
Then, step behind the bar for an interactive Blackberry Mint Julep cocktail-making session. Guided by expert mixologists, you’ll craft this bold yet refreshing drink, blending deep berry notes with the smooth complexity of locally distilled whiskey.
