\"The<\/a>We’ve made our way through cucumbers and gin, berry-tinged tequila, and the finest in Italian jazz, and as we near Thursday night’s final Cocktail Evening & Summer Concert<\/em><\/a> of the Wild Medicine<\/em><\/a> exhibition, we’re changing it up one more time. If you’re as much a fan of the smoky nuance of bourbon as I am, you’ll want to clear your evening schedule.<\/p>\n

This round’s specialty cocktail is “Strawberry Fields,” a balanced mix of\u00a0Cr\u00e8me Yvette, bourbon, ginger ale and lime\u2014all matched to the tenor of Mich\u00e9al Castaldo<\/a>, our guest singer. Backed by his string quartet, he brings the classic standards of his Italian homeland to our stage for one night only.<\/p>\n

Preface your evening out with a quiet walk through our Wild Medicine<\/em> displays in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory<\/a>, strolling around the Italian Renaissance Garden<\/em><\/a> and the many medicinal plants growing in our glasshouse. Afterward, grab your complementary cocktail and a few samples from Mike’s Deli and the Bronx Beer Hall, or bring a blanket and pick up a picnic dinner to enjoy the concert from the Conservatory Lawn. Those looking to keep the night moving will find a cash bar with wine, beer, food, and other refreshments available.<\/p>\n

For MasterCard holders, we also offer a champagne pre-party<\/a> beginning in the Shop in the Garden<\/a> and moving on to Wild Medicine<\/em><\/a>. We even offer discounts at famed Arthur Avenue restaurants nearby for those holding Cocktail Evening<\/em><\/a> tickets. Because why wouldn\u2019t you make a full night of it?<\/em><\/p>\n

With only a few days remaining between now and our last Cocktail Evening <\/em>on August 15, not to mention tickets dwindling, you may want to think about registering as soon as possible<\/a>. You just bring yourself\u2014we’ll bring the drinks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
