On April 24 at 5 p.m., the Wine Visitor and Education Centre will host the unveiling in conjunction with its popular Friday Night Pints event. While previous years featured private presentations for faculty and peers, this new public format, led by the Niagara College Learning Enterprises Corporation, will allow the community to get a taste of the students&#8217; hard work.<\/p>\n<p>Head Distiller David Dickson noted that the event will serve as a professional showcase as well as a celebratory send-off for the students as they conclude the program.<\/p>\n<p>Attendees will have the opportunity to sample three distinct student creation which will be available for purchase: <strong>Maple Banoffee, Eh<\/strong>: a liqueur by Shiamak Mehta and Monique Toronyi; <strong>Agrumo Amaro<\/strong>: a bitter by Myles Prior and Evan Reichert; and <strong>Borealis Spruce Gin<\/strong>: a spirit by Kade Bound and Tanner Cuthbert.<\/p>\n<p>In the spirit of the occasion, the students have also developed signature cocktails based on timeless classics like the Bee&#8217;s Knees, Old Fashioned, and Paper Plane. Cocktails will be available for purchase by the glass, and a limited number of bottles will be available for purchase while supplies last.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a nice send off to put a cap on the year,&#8221; said Dickson.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Interested in attending?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Reservations are encouraged, as space is limited.
