Happy Easter everyone! Hope your day is filled with celebration, snacks, and possibly some Easter egg hunts. Take a "peep" at the photos of the cocktails we served at the Willamette Valley Cancer Foundation Adult Easter Egg Hunt yesterday: Bunny Painkiller, Butterfly Martini, and our classic Maple Old Fashioned. One will be included below, but you'll need to head to our post on our website for all three. The event was blooming fun and all for a great cause too. It sprang us right into the holiday spirit. So, hop on down to either our Portland tasting room or the Carlton Post, noon to 6, if you need anything to add to your Easter festivities. Cheers!
