Indiantown, Fla.--There's an unofficial mixology club attending Kai Kai Farm Dinners. Mixology is the art of creating exotic cocktails. And in the case of the group at Kai Kai Farm's Almost Summer BBQ, they used Florida ingredients in their beverages.
"It all started at the last Kai Kai dinner," said Lisa Grasso one of the original participants," We saw that it was BYOB last time and decided to come up with mixed drinks." They had five participants at the last dinner. "Now we have 16, so this time each couple brought a drink," said Grasso.
She brought a Florida watermelon Margarita that had a fabulous sweet yet non-cloying flavor. Grasso, who grew up on a farm in Central Florida and married Stephen, a fourth generation farmer, really believes in supporting other farmers.
And what better way to support other farmers than by attending their events and bringing Florida ingredient infused drinks to the ones that are BYOB. "We all like to eat and we all like to drink. So it just happened that we brought drinks," said Grasso.
Monica, another member of the group, brought two drinks: Moscow Mule and Juniper Berry Sunshine Crush made with Florida grown strawberries, cucumbers, and chili peppers.
If you get a chance to go to one of Kai Kai Farm's dinners, say hello to this lively group of farm supporters and amateur mixologists. If you smile enough they might give you a taste of one of their delicious libations.
