Martinis at The Ancient Olive

We are promoting this event in a variety of ways so the number of RSVPs on meetup will not give you an accurate count.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinegar are the perfect addition to many things -- drizzled on a salad, paired with a loaf of crusty bread and even used when cooking your favorite meats and vegetables. But did you know, that they can also be used to flavor your favorite martini?

In celebration of National Martini Day, The Ancient Olive will host a celebration & demonstration at the store from 6-7pm on National Martini Day, June 19th. The Ancient Olive team will teach guests how adding different flavors of white balsamic vinegar can liven up their drinks -- and then guests will get a chance to experiment. During this event, guests will enjoy a complimentary balsamic-flavored martini and light hors d'oeuvres.

This is defintely a twist on your everyday martini. Instead of adding fruit juice and other sugary mixers, you'll be adding white balsamic vinegars giving it all the flavor without the added calories. Think -- lemongrass mint, cranberry pear, Sicilian lemon white balsamic and more. These balsamics are both heart healthy and only 10 calories per tablespoon.

While you're there, be sure to check our their large selection of gourmet food products, balsamic vinegars and extra virgin olive oils -- including Moonshadow Grove Mission, which just won Best of Show at the 2013 Napa Valley Olive Oil competition.

There is no charge to attend this event. In lieu of payment, a donation to Easter Seals is suggested.
