Creating Cordials

Make your own drink mixer from natural ingredients at Creating Cordials on Saturday, Oct. 18 from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Greenhouse Auditorium.

Instructor Heidi Leuszler will introduce students to three plants — Elder (Sambucus Canadensis), Black Walnut (Juglas Nigra) and Black Currant (Ribes Nigrum) — and discuss their natural, cultural and culinary histories. Students will then learn to prepare the ingredients into cordials to take home and mix with their preferred beverage to make a tasty refreshment!

$95/person (Ages 21+). Register at https://allerton.illinois.edu/events/creating-cordials/. Registration will close Oct. 8 or when capacity is reached. All sales are final.
