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 put together 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.
