SPICE WORKSHOPS WITH LIOR LeV SErCARZ AT CARDINAL SPIRITS

Imagine Mario Andretti teaching you how to drive. Ansel Adams coaching you on photos. Voice lessons from Elton John.

This is what it is like to learn about spices from Lior Lev Sercarz, the master spice blender and owner of the legendary La Boîte spice company in New York City. Lior's spice blends are a thing of dreams for big-deal chefs, at-home cooks and anyone in between who loves to eat and drink. Lior seeks out the very best sources in the world for everything from saffron to cinnamon, and combines them like no one else does.

We recently collaborated with Lior on our Terra Botanical Gin, and now, we're hosting him at Cardinal Spirits for two spice-blending events and a spice dinner with Chef David Tallent. Please join us!
