Making cocktails at home has never been easier thanks to Simple Times Mixers. Stop by and take one of their cocktail classes!
In case you somehow haven’t heard of Simple Times Mixers yet, they make fresh squeezed cocktail mixers to which you just need to add alcohol. Cocktails at home made easy! But you may have also seen them at various bars and restaurants or private events around town. While they have staple mixers and seasonal flavors, they also offer custom blends and one-offs.
Speaking of fresh ingredients, despite using 6 THOUSAND pounds of fruit a week they still operate with a small-bath mentality, using everything they can from Ohio, which currently includes 5 local farms – blackberries from Rhodes Farm, apples from a farm in Chillicothe, etc.
They also try to reduce waste. For example, Noble Cut Distillery (conveniently located next door) uses the citrus zest first to make Limoncello, etc. before they are juiced to go into Simple Times Mixers. And all those glass bottles? Stop by and drop off your empties because they will wash and reuse them!
And now they offer classes. But if making a cocktail with their mixers is so easy, why do you need a class? Mark put it best by saying that it’s like a rip off of “sip and paint” but with cocktails. With the help of the experts, you get to play with a variety of mixer bases, fruits, herbs, and garnishes, mixing and matching, to create you own mixer blend. Get out of your comfort zone and try something new! (Or if you’re not into alcohol, you could easily make a mocktail.)
Let’s see what our crew came up with…
To help absorb the alcohol, we also were graced by a delicious spread provided by Baker’s Dozen Catering including sandwiches, sides, and dessert! The secret to their delicious spread lies in the freshly baked bread. On the menu: turkey and mozzarella on focaccia, ham and Swiss on pretzel rolls, roast beef and cheddar on sandwich rolls, caprese on sandwich rolls, pretzel sticks, Greek pasta salad, fruit, blueberry bars, butterscotch bars (crowd favorite), and brownies.
Definitely check the out for any upcoming catering needs or find on of their pop ups. You can order cold or hot sandwiches for your next office lunch meeting. They offer 20% off for up to 30 people on first time orders!
Grab some friends and stop by Simple Times Mixers headquarters in Gahanna to visit their store front, book a tour, or take a cocktail class for yourself!
