From Garden to Glass with Jena Ellenwood

I had the pleasure of chatting with the talented mixologist and cocktail educator, Jena Ellenwood, to explore the art of crafting exquisite cocktails and mocktails that celebrate the arrival of spring.

Jena highlighted her creative process and the inspiration behind her vibrant botanical-infused and fruit-forward drinks. She emphasized the importance of balance in flavors and the use of fresh herbs and edible flowers to enhance the taste and visual appeal of her beverages.

She graciously shared some of her favorite recipes, all which will be perfect to sip on a sunny afternoon. Her tips and tricks for elevating your bar cart and springtime entertaining are sure to inspire you to get creative at home.

Raise a glass to the joys of spring and dive into the delightful world of entertaining with Jena.
