📅 Monday, July 28th | 7:00 PM
📍 Stagecoach Coffee — 102 N Main St, Paris, IL

We’re calling all Syndicate members to this month’s gathering — an open table, honest discussion, and a special first look (and taste) at the cocktail we’ll be entering in the Still Austin Cocktail Competition.

🌞 The Sunfire Ritual — Preview Tasting
Crafted with Still Austin Red Corn Bottled in Bond Bourbon, the Sunfire Ritual is our boldest cocktail yet — designed for maximum visual impact, complex aromatics, and a layered taste experience that hits every sense.

Tasting Notes:

Deep roasted corn sweetness carried by 100-proof intensity

Bright citrus and spice lifted by subtle tropical heat

A delicate smoke-kissed finish that lingers

Full-bodied, balanced, and unapologetically bold


Presentation Glimpse:

Served over a clear, polished cube

Garnished with a signature house-dried element that amplifies aroma

Finished tableside with a visual pop designed to stop the scroll


🗣️ What to Expect:

Private tasting before we submit it for competition

Members-only insights on the flavor build and ritualistic presentation

Open discussion on upcoming picks, events, and what’s next for the Syndicate.
