Our annual fundraiser, the Science of Cocktails, was a hoppin’ good time as our six mixologist teams shook, stirred, emulsified, and acid balanced their ways to local fame with chemically-inspired cocktail creations while DJ Apoc kept the tunes rolling.
Kudos to Colleen Thompson and Megan Miller of the Cornerhouse for not only dressing the part of mad scientists, but for creating the Perfect Pinhead Potion as judged by our panel. Their Electric Cocktail Acid Test went heavy on the science of pH levels in a light, berry/citrus concoction.
