Garden Party
Spring is here, and we’re taking things outside. This week on Flavorphiles, we’re throwing the ultimate Garden Party—from what to grow, to what to drink, to what actually belongs on your table.
We kick things off with our Amuse Booze: a classic sour cocktail, a smash, and a highball that unlock the perfect ratios you can use to create nearly endless drinks. Once you understand the balance, you don’t need recipes—just fresh ingredients, ideally pulled straight from your garden or a local farmers market.
Next, we’re joined by gardening icon Mark Cullen, who breaks down the best things to plant for a culinary garden, why gardening is as good for you as it is for your food, and why there’s really no such thing as failure in the garden.
Then, beekeeper Michelle Wolfson joins us to talk about what makes local honey so special, how anyone can help support bees (no hive required), and what it’s like transporting thousands of bees… in your car.
We wrap things up with the Garden Party Draft—Tanner and Jerry build their perfect outdoor spread. It gets a little competitive, a little excessive, and hopefully gives you a few ideas for your next gathering.
