CULTURAL COCKTAILS THIS SUMMER
This summer, BMD’s Cultural Cocktails program will kick off Berkshire Mountain Distillers’ 15th anniversary celebration. Engineered to unite and honor local partners, at a time when many have suffered due to the pandemic, this tribute to the arts centers around classic craft cocktail recipes created by local bartenders, and inspired by and named in partnership with Berkshire cultural institutions. From May through October — they’ll bolster connectivity while generating regional excitement across local bars, venues, restaurants and arts organizations. Visit BMD’s Cultural Cocktails site for more info and ask for one at your favorite local establishment!
