Mixology is all the rage these days, so why not climb on the boxcar and stir up your usual drink order? We muddled around with local bartenders as they puttogether all manner of concoctions – from a raspberry kombucha cosmo to a classic champagne cocktail. If wine’s your thing, you can sip and swirl to your
heart’s content from another innovation, wines on tap. Booze-cruise these pages for a virtual bar crawl to find out
what’s shaking in Howard County watering holes.
