We’re all about learning and trying new things over here at the Alibi, especially new food and drink. So this week is all about introducing you to some things you might not know about, or at least don’t know how to make (yet). In the feature you’ll learn all about shrubs from Monique Carr of Spellbound Syrups, and then learn how to make one. Below, you’ll also learn about other opportunities to learn more stuff this weekend and into next week. Because we heard you really like learning.
