At Bird’s Nest at Blackbird, we pride ourselves on offering more than just a drink – we create an elevated cocktail experience in a serene, adults-only setting. Sure, our expertly crafted cocktails are the stars of the show, but we also invite you to dive into the world of vermouth, often the unsung hero of the bar. And trust us, when vermouth is as exceptional as Tximista Vermouth, it absolutely deserves the spotlight.
Straight from Spain’s Basque Country, Tximista Vermouth is made from 100% Getariako Txakoli wine, crafted from the unique Hondarrabi Zuri grape. This gives it a fresh, crisp taste with delightful notes of peach, lemon, spice, and subtle floral undertones. Whether you sip it neat, on the rocks with a twist, or topped off with a splash of soda, it’s a drink that stands out on its own.
Vermouth and Charcuterie: A Perfect Pairing
What’s vermouth, you ask? It’s a fortified wine infused with a mix of botanicals, herbs, and spices. It’s fantastic on its own or in cocktails. On February 20th From 5-9 PM, we’ll be introducing you to the Tximista Vermouths from Spain, courtesy of Proof Wine and Spirits.
But we’re not stopping there – to elevate your experience, we’ve partnered with Artisan Beer and Cheese to bring you charcuterie boards that are nothing short of delicious. These expertly curated boards feature a selection of cheeses and cured meats that pair perfectly with the vibrant flavors of Tximista Vermouth. Trust us, it’s a match made in culinary heaven.
Your ticket includes a locally made charcuterie board for two, along with a one-ounce pour of Tximista Vermouth Blanco and Tximista Vermouth Rojo. Want more? We’ll have a special cocktail on the menu that’ll showcase these fantastic vermouths in all their glory.
It’s an evening where vermouth and charcuterie come together in perfect harmony. Whether you’re a vermouth enthusiast or a first-timer, this event is sure to delight your taste buds and introduce you to something new.
Space is limited, so don’t miss your chance to savor this unforgettable pairing! Tickets are on sale now. We can’t wait to see you there!
