There's nothing like a Wisconsin old fashioned. But how about a Wisconsin old fashioned mocktail?
Whether you're in the throes of Dry January, sober-curious or living the sober lifestyle full-time, Sprecher Brewing Co. is here for it.
Using their line of craft sodas and seltzers, plus a few other simple ingredients, they've mixed up an engaging collection of seven craft mocktails that you can easily whip up at home. Even better, they're hosting a special sampling event where you can sample the entire line-up, from a berry mule and Sprecher sangria to a citrus mojito and iced coffee mocktail.
Sprecher's Dry January Mocktail Tasting takes place on Thursday, Jan. 20 from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Taproom located at 1701 Glendale Ave. Tickets are $15 per person and can be purchased online at sprecherbrewery.comAnd, of course, after the tasting, you'll have the opportunity to pick up the Sprecher products to make your favorites at home.
Lori is an avid cook whose accrual of condiments and spices is rivaled only by her cookbook collection. Her passion for the culinary industry was birthed while balancing A&W root beer mugs as a teenage carhop, fed by insatiable curiosity and fueled by the people whose stories entwine with each and every dish. She’s had the privilege of chronicling these tales via numerous media, including OnMilwaukee and in her book “Milwaukee Food.” Her work has garnered journalism awards from entities including the Milwaukee Press Club. In 2024, Lori was honored with a "Top 20 Women in Hospitality to Watch" award by the Wisconsin Restaurant Association.
When she’s not eating, photographing food, writing or recording the FoodCrush podcast, you’ll find Lori seeking out adventures with her husband Paul, traveling, cooking, reading, learning, snuggling with her cats and looking for ways to make a difference.
