Design Bar Truckee sure does know how to throw a party! On the evening of April 18th, Design Bar Truckee hosted the last CATT mixer before the summer. On this first warm night of the year, guests enjoyed having the doors open to the space outside. The food was spectactular! Chicken skewers hot off the BBQ served with remoulade, shrimp cocktail with a mango dipping sauce, fresh fruit and veggie tray and savory ginger scones. Liz Skidmore Baking Co. provided desserts including Chocolate Macha Truffles, Coconut Lime Cupcakes and Lemon Pistachio Canapes. In addition to wine, beer and non-alcoholic beverages, the hosts at Design Bar served a delightful signature drink, Strawberry Spring Thyme, topped with a paper umbrella! Here is the recipe:
Strawberry Spring Thyme
2 oz vodka
strawberry simple syrup (to taste)
1 oz of citrus (lemon or lime)
top off with prosecco
toasted sprig of rosemary or thyme
