“Before, we would provide suggested recipes or pairings after tastings for our guests to make at home, but with our new bar and the recent Florida law, we are able to serve cocktails highlighting our products and how they are meant to be enjoyed — it’s very cool!” Chris Schmitt, co-owner of Loggerhead Distillery, said in a statement.
