INDUSTRY BORN IN THE TOP HAT AIRSTREAM BAR
Ethan Terry & Shane McKnight workshopped this "farm-to-toddy" heater to stay warm at a socially distanced outdoor tasting event the In early November of 2020. The Top Hat Airstream Bar quickly became the center of attention and apparently Persimmon & Aquavit go together like Romeo & Juliet if you know what I mean.... Btw...Aquavit is an esoteric spirit similar to gin with the star botanical caraway replacing the juniper.
CREATED BY ETHAN TERRY & SHANE MCKNIGHT
Ethan Terry and Shane McKnight have worked together on the Cocktail Magic activation at Outside Lands for 4 plus years now and they have workshopped so many cocktail concepts together that things flow very easily these days. "Dude, let's try this persimmon toddy with Aquavit as the base spirit." - Ethan Terry
