Veritable Distillery Presents the Mystic Cocktail Classic
Fermentation doesn’t just preserve ingredients — it transforms them. In this discussion, distiller Leslie Merinoff-Kwasnieski (Matchbook Distilling Co.) will introduce you to the invisible work of microbes and the flavors they unlock. From fruit that tastes more like itself after fermentation to the esters, acids, and aromas that define world-class spirits, you’ll taste and explore how fermentation creates entirely new palettes for bartenders and home enthusiasts. Walk away with a sharper sensory lens, a few simple fermentation tricks you can try yourself, and a deeper appreciation for how flavor is built from the ground up.
